    2007 Isle of Mann TT Review

    I post these every now and then. These guys are surely in a class of their own...just incredible what they can do on these public roads.

    Stoopid fricken dial-up! Yeah, yeah, I know...get high speed. Not until I move. So, until then...stoopid fricken dial-up.

    On what I did see...sweet! Now that would be a dream trip...just once to watch...in my lifetime.

    Watch...?!? You need to either take a bike or rent a bike and ride the Isle. Nothing compares to the mountain section of the course...but the little towns are cool also.

    Yeah now that would be the thing, but it'd probably be when I'm 80 before I could afford a trip oversees, hence the "watch" part.

    Ok, so maybe I exaggerate a tad, but yeah, definitely by bike. I'm need of another dose of Europe anyway.

    We had the full video that the clip is taken from playing at work when it first came out (around Xmas). The guy that crashes at about the 1min mark in the clip actually went OVER that wall and landed in someone's garden, stunned but unhurt...

    It's a great video, and I'm just glad the race is still going despite the way society is growing more and more risk aversive.

    Like others, I'd love to run the race myself, I think there's literally nothing like it in the world. But, also like others, I probably will never get the chance...

    Still, it's a good video.
