Isle of Man TT is Smurfing Crazy
on: June 09, 2013, 12:56:57 AM
I just found out about this a week or so ago when they did the 2013 Isle of Man TT. It is Motorcycle racing. These guys are insane! Doing wheelies at over 160 and hitting 200+ mph. Ridiculous turns and roads. Take a look if you like Motorcycle racing. The videos a little long, but worth the watch.

Mate,we started a thread about the TT on Monday  :pok:

If you want to watch a proper TT video,track down a DVD called 'V For Victory' ,the legendary Joey Dunlop back in '83.It also covers the Ulster GP,and the Dutch TT.

Highlights this year seen John McGuinness win his 20th TT,a 132mph lap by a Superbike,107mph by an Electric bike...

Google the North West 200 as well,its the fastest bike race in the UK
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!

I guess I didn't notice the other thread or I forgot.  :think:

I will take a look for the video.  :tu:

I really like the sidecar race as well.

Very insane for sure.

I came across this sort of documentary a while back of this nut bar racing in traffic.

Anyone know which song they play in the video?  :facepalm:

I've never been able to get into TT all that much for some reason. But Isle of Man is indeed just insane. It's gotten to the point the last several years that entering that race is almost suicide, the Pikes Peak Hill Climb is safer than that. I prefer my racing to have 4 wheels, but nothing but respect to those guys.
