You need 15 minutes free time to watch this, you have to watch all the way through, including the overtaking other riders in the shadows!!

If it is true that you appreciate life the closer you get to death then these guys live at a level beyond my comprehension!!

I don't think there is any sport out there that takes that much skill bravery or to be that crazy to do what these guys do in the TT's the brain power to process at the speeds they do is unbeleivable.

Not F1 drivers or Fighter pilots do what these guys do in such limited space and the number of corners they have to remember is just incredible.

I watch an interveiw whit Joe Dunlop they asked him how he manage in the fogg at the Isle of Mann
he said he would count between corners to know when to turn or brake because you couldn't se the next corner.

These guys are the ultimate athletes out there. Cool
