Whatever amount of money the winner of this race gets is not nearly enough.

LMAO

How in the world is that event legal? Why would any bystander watch from the road, especially on teh far side of any kind of bend/turn at all? F that.

Watch the best in the world do just about anything and you'll be in awe of how good they are at it.

These guys are just incredibly skilled riders. It's incredible how quickly they can roll that weight over and blast through those chicanes.

I'm happy with my four sturdy tires and two tons of steel surrounding me, thanks.

I thought this was pretty hilarious.

oh man that song is ****ing terrible

At one time the IOM TT was a GP event but that was many, many moons ago and no racing body will sanction events there. I think the community does it themselve. It's a two week event that's been going on for close to a century now and draws in racers from around the world. That community makes their year on it so they'll keep on going until forced to stop.

Dumb

Under estimated it a bit, looked it up and they’ve been racing there since 1907. So basically since there have been motorcycle races they’ve been racing them around the Isle of Man.
But if you guys think that one’s nuts check out the North West 200.
Held in Northern Ireland it’s a motorcycle race on public streets like the IOM TT but unlike that race where they start off individually and race against the clock, at the NW 200 they grid up just like on a race track. So those guys are racing elbow to elbow, swapping paint, late braking and jockeying for position. It’s a race for guys that think the IOM TT is a little too soft and sissified for them.
