Guy Martin at the TT
 

O.k., this guy talks faster than I can ever imagine riding. Here is what a 129 mph lap looks like from the seat of a motorcycle at the Isle of Man. This is road racing, boys and girls - not for the faint of heart. He touches 207 mph in one spot... on a country road... we're talking balls of steel. Or very limited imagination - your call.

that's awesome......if you have a ps2 pick up the TT game, has a view just like the vid and is VERY difficult to master.......
yea i know a game doesn"t compare to the real thing......but i am NOT going to try that in real life :)

thanks for the vids :)

It takes a different kind of racer to participate in "real roads racing".

If you want the insiders/ privateer Americans look at the TT 09, check this thread out.

He said "4 weeks practice" to get to that pace.

I couldn't do that with four lifetimes of practice.

What really strikes me is when I consider that video always seems to slow things down. I've shot video at the track from my 911, and it just doesn't do justice to how fast it feels when I'm actually doing it. In light of that, I just can't imagine what it must really be like to pilot a motorcycle at that pace on those roads. Yikes...

truly the nuttuest motorsport event ever.

HUGE BULLOCKS

Love it

Only thing that remotely compares is the Pikes Peak racers IMO. THey're all nuckin futs!
