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?!?

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.
