  • So you think you're fast...

    Highlights from this year's Superbike TT. It's a long video (45 min) but you'll be glad you watched it!

    Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die

    Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba….Hunter S. Thompson

      I love the TT! Every year during the week of the races, my schedule changes and I get up at 2:30am, so I can listen to them on the internet. My wife thinks I'm crazy.

      Thanks for posting the links,

          Finally sit down to watch some of it, and it's been removed.

            Arg! It is nearly impossible to see/ get coverage of this spectacular race in the US. I was like Yahman this yeaer, getting up at ridiculous hours to stream it from Manx Radio. I suppose now they are only going to release it in some form of 'for purchase' DVD...I'll keep looking though.

            In the meantime, here is a short from 2010:

                  Cool vid for sure, but MotoGP is racing for juniors against the IOM guys...Rossi has been to the IOM, but only as a spectator. He won't run in it (but not that I blame him...)
