xeon Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 The TT is in my opinion one of the most exhilarating races to watch, a true test of what a man and a machine are capable of. Simply amazing. 2016 Raven (White) ~ Akrapovic Carbon Exhaust / 2WDW ECU Flash / CRG LS Mirrors / Seat Concepts Seat / Givi Windscreen / OES Sliders / R6 Throttle Tube / Ohlins YA419 & NIX22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ralph Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 They are certainly sucking the rabbits out of the edges. Though it's very sad to see any loss of life at least they were doing what they wanted to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member pgeldz Posted June 12, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 12, 2016 I've always been in awe of the Isle of Man. It's unbelievable they still hold races there in that environment. I mean, MotoGP stopped coming to Laguna Seca because the track was not up to FIA Tier 1 safety standards, and then you see the Isle of Man and just scratch your head. Don't get me wrong...I absolutely LOVE the Isle of Man and glad to see it's history preserved with continuing competition there. The riders that compete there, even the folks in the slowest category in last place, have my utmost respect. Truly an outstanding venue and glad to see it's still going strong. - Paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryv Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Watching the Electric Bikes race ... all you hear is the whine of the motor and chain. They are heavier and soak up the bumps but there sure do move fast. Not sure I'd like one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizin Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Isle of ManTT Competitors are crazy. So are the Irish road racers. I love watching them race like everyone else and admire them all for what they do, because I would never dare.
