Isle of man TT....(Motorcycle racing)

[Malta]

As someone that has ridden a bike at high speeds I can't even imagine trying to run on that course, it's 37 miles and the average speed is around 125mph :thisnikka: The balls it takes to ride a bike at 185-200mph on a two lane road and hit a corner at 170mph is just

There have been 239 deaths since they started doing it, and they couldn't give a fukk, gotta be the craziest form of racing in the world....and it's open to the public.

I watch this every chance I get. The speeds that they reach in on that island are just insane. I wish I had 1/2 the skill these guys have because they know how to get every inch of power out of those bikes. I saw one race and I thought it was the Superbikes. When I saw that it was the 600's I was like It makes me question do I really need a 1k Superbike when I can just get a 600cc bike and make it do what it do.

@ homeboy bouncing down the mountain, flailing all helpless like that!

Those guys are fukking crazy I hope the reward is at least millions

If I ever get to the point to where I have to ride anything like that to get my thrills, I hope someone makes me hang up the helmet...

It's being held this week, I think from the 25th till the 7th of June. Honestly, you don't really need much more than a 600 for riding, having a liter bike is more of a luxury and to feed the ego more than anything else.

Imagine the adrenaline rush these dudes are having while they're going into a corner at a buck 50 and the front wheel coming off the ground

this is the very purest sense of racing, I do think 600cc is perfectly fine as not many people have the skill or the reasons to get a 1000cc bike and get maximum use for it. I have a 91 CBR250RR myself and that is enough for me...at least for the next few years
