I wonder how many laps it would take me to learn that track well enough to finish in the same day that I started.Ron G

At that speed one screw up and it's all over with. Knowing that course is everything. Some factory riders are not allowed to ride in this TT race by the
cycle company there riding for, too dangerous they say. I think the 2015 Isle of Man races claimed six riders the most ever. Until 1967 only English
and Irish could participate in that TT race.

Crap, sheite happens fast at that speed. I am afraid I have never been able to react fast enough for that.

Me and my V-twin Yamaha could only be considered a menace any where near that track,I could not even watch that race properly.I get the shivers just thinking about laying down trying to make one of those turns when I didn't even have a clue that it was there.Those riders must ride that track every day,all year long.Ron G

The Isle of Man TT starts at the end of May for 2017 with a week of qualifying. See if anybody breaks the lap record this year also.

I can't begin to fathom that sort of riding. I've had exactly 2 asphalt bikes, and a whole passel of 2 stroke dirt bikes... ergo the messed up right knee. Anyways, that super fast asphalt stuff is incredible to watch.
