Isle of Man TT

[Renegade]

OMG, in HD this is absolutely amazing.   Will be ordering the DVD and or BlueRay of this when offered.

Unbelievable.

I'm thinking that I need to go to this.

Damn    3.3 seconds difference between 1st and 2nd after 100 plus miles of racing.   No pace laps, no caution laps, nothing to get them back together.   That is simply amazing.

I don't think they start together, but staggered and it's based on total time for the 4(?) laps of the island. Very very cool. Airborne over a hump on narrow public streets with curbs, bridges and stone fences that's just awesome.

The video highlight on the home page for the TT has an awesome airborne bike at 1:53.

Yep...this and WRC fasinates me. It's amazing that they start at intervals and end up within seconds...plus the TT guys are crazy; fun to watch, but crazy nontheless.

Yep, the start staggered, but guys catch other guys.   Some of the passing is fantastic!

Some races are 1 lap, some 3, some 4.

Damn side car guys are super-crazy!...

Set your DVR to record, they will be airing shows for the next two weeks.

I had a couple of chances to play TT on rt22 the other Sat where they hadn't cut the weeds for a while.

Just take the right-handers real close to the ditch and you could run your helmet through the grass.

Extra Cool.

Yeah, back when I set up ESTN2, I had the route go down a few roads with virtually no shoulder then rock wall. Very cool at triple digits. But then again, on the pre-run, Jon and I almost went into a barn instead of turning right. Central Ky has several roads that are very much like sections of the TT - just not quite the town sections.

Wish I had cable or satellite to get that channel.  But we just cut off our satellite a couple weeks ago and I gotta say, the kids have been more active and better behaved.
