Amazing the talent those drivers have. Going into bumpy corners at 160mph on essentially a road through a town. The suspension on those bikes is working overtime and they just stick. Is there anything/anyplace more difficult in racing? |

Completely crazy. Add a bit of wet weather and I would be watching from the second floor of the house.
Not that I would ever go to the Isle of Mann. What would people think?!? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Ha, forgot about that... You're right! And they race across vast plains where the road can quickly vanish and you're going 90-100mph and heading towards the other side of a wash. Yup. Ugly. |
