Thanks for the heads up, it was a great show. The race comes on next Monday. Same bat time, same bat channel. It is followed by Twist the Throttle. Another great show.

The show last night was very cool. The slow motion shots were amazing. You really get to see in slow mo how bumpy the road is and how much the bike moves around.

mylife57 · 07-14-2009, 02:15 PM

NO S H I T!

Phenomenal shots. You get to see how the chassis loads up and how much the bike flexes. I've watched IOM for years and had no idea how bumpy it is. MAJOR suspension work there. Unreal how well setup those bikes are!

That race is insane. My family thinks I am crazy and stupid because I ride on the track. I had them tune in monday to see what crazy really is.

Can I get an A MEN!!!

There aren't many things in this world I can't see myself EVER doing, but running that race, even CLOSE to the speed they do just makes me want to curl up and go hide in the closet. I put them up there with the freestyle MX people....only it takes more skill and concentration to run the IOM. Can you even imagine trying to put together one complete fast lap around a 37 mile course?

Jayh3 · 07-15-2009, 11:24 PM

This is just as insane.

T-MAN-R6 · 07-16-2009, 12:16 AM

Yea the Isle of Mann TT race is crazy fast... It's like a rally race on 2 wheels. Just insane!!!!

Law Dog · 07-16-2009, 08:47 AM

Watched it when I got home, and it was insane!!! The slow motion shots where awesome!!!

CBR#75 · 07-16-2009, 12:02 PM

I'm gonna have to catch the rerun. I was at work when this was posted and far away from my DVR.

Jayh3 · 07-17-2009, 08:11 PM

Just to emphasize the insaneness. 150mph bend on a 600.
