"Proper" road racing
 
Guys, I know that some of you are interested in motorcycles, so I thought that I'd give you the heads up on this.
BBC Northern Ireland has some brilliant coverage of the world's biggest, and fastest, road race (after the IoM TT). The race is the Northwest 200. Practice/qualifying has just finished, but the racing will be streamed live on Saturday afternoon (UK time, obviously). So if you fancy seeing 200mph wheel to wheel racing on public roads, follow this link ...

Regards.
Stephen

Thanks for the link.

The "real roads" racers clank when they walk. Even the slow ones!

Someday I want to go watch the IOM TT.
For now I replay the vids in my head and dream about racing there.

That's a great line ... I'll try to remember it.
I've been around road racing for @35 years ('even did it myself for 6 years), and can tell you that most of them are very normal people.
