No doubt about it, the TT Isle of Man is the world's greatest race. I get goose bumps and giddy everytime I watch.

Great vid. Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end, which is no easy feat considering my hair is so short it stands on end all the time. *LOVE* The TT.

I laugh and cry watching footage from the TT.

The wobbles coming over the rise. The lofty smacked tumble over the cliff edge.

Those locals- Eorling rabble no doubt. The spirit under the brook.

Go buy One Man's island and watch it. Humble rented OEM CBR600, he placed second to last in class, still way farkin scary, great flick. WOT at redline, and passed by another bike 30-40 mph faster.
