good god, that bit towards the end!!!! AMAZING! How fast would he be going at that point?

Also, the track is clearly a closed road, but there is still a lot of houses. Can you imagine if a cat or something stumbled onto the road? .. or even wildlife??!

Reminds me of being late for work!

I guess there is a lot of transplant operations taking place these past 2 weeks
A chap from my home town has just been killed there

Sulby Straight. They'll be hitting 200mph down there.

Well! I personally have nothing against public displays of affection, but perhaps you'd like to take this to private messages :wink:

I also think that my wife would object, especially as you are a gorgeous blonde with a fantastic figure !!

That was just a snippet on a training lap!

This is a full lap by the winner of the superbike race with an average speed of 133.393, - a new lap record.

He broke that record on Sunday pushing it up to 133.9!

 

[collectors]

I got to get there one year. I would have serious doubts about achieving 133mph average on an empty motorway over 37+ miles.

Dunlops film is far more like real life.
can't take a thing from McGuinness but the wide angle and after effects (or fixed focus lens, not sure which) make it look way faster than it was (it was still fast).

scary as hell and wonderful to watch.

oh and I've still got a video somewhere (those things with tape in them) of steve hislop smashing the record in 94 I think.

I used to go to the TT every year for 30+ years and have ridden the "track" many times and at normal road speeds its pretty dodgy, I remember back in early 90's i had a RC30 and thought i was the next Joey D but came down to earth on mad sunday when i was overtaken on corner by 2 Germans on similar bikes BUT they didn't slacken off for the bends and it was like a computer game watching them disappear up the road. There is a video online of a rider showing off where his helmet actually scrapped on a gatepost for 3 laps without knocking him off lol he said he used the gate as a marker! his speed at that point was approx 160mph.
Brilliant place to visit if you like bikes but be prepared for accidents either racers or public

Approaching 200mph. It's the Isle of Man TT. Paul Shoesmith lost his life this year because a dog ran out. 5 Died in total this year.

It was 200mph on a public road through villages, how fast do you want it?

Try this, wait for the slo-mo to see them in mid air and out of the seat at 170mph. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkM-FLc ... e=youtu.be
