Big, brass ones at that. Every lap around that circuit just looks like a death wish, with the spectators not being much safer.

Funny this should come up as I spent all of last night watching Isle of Man TT clips on YouTube. The on-bike camera videos are especially good, as it gives you an amazing sense of not only the stupid speeds these guys do, but also how bumpy the roads are, and hence how often they have both wheels off the ground.

Mind blown, and trip added to bucket list!

Velocity channel has been broadcasting the 2016 races the last few weeks. Maybe there are some replays.

I went in 2013 with my Dad and my Bro and it was a nice and relaxed event. You didn't have to fight the crowds to get good viewing points and no lines at the bar.
