    Isle of Man TT == Need For Speed on bikes

    Seriously I just saw the super stock race and am amazed how dangerous this is, not to mention how crazy those spectators are for sitting so close to the track lol

    This must be a ton of fun though. Will have to see if there is a way to watch past races online it's better than MotoGP!

    Re: Isle of Man TT == Need For Speed on bikes

    yep that's just insane and would be fun as hell!

    Glad I found these races, I'm sure there are not a lot of crashing as they wouldn't allow spectators so close but i guess you never know

    Just glad I found this race, MotoGP is fun to watch but I like the scenery in this race better.

    The TT is childs play, Just a time trial.

    Google "Macau GP" :

    I hate to agree with Doc, because I like Isle of Mann, but Macau is some freaky shit.

    Yeah, about the crashes.....notsomuch. Between the Manx GP and the Tourist Trophy, 231 deaths since 1907
