Isle Of Man TT Superbikes Gone Wild | Ridersbook TV

My Dad was into this a lot while he was alive, going back to when he was a young man. Makes every other sort of bike race look like kiddies on trikes. Only 3 killed this year.... Since 1911, been 250. Not a sport for the meek

It's not the slide that kills you, it's what you slide into.......very unforgiving course.

Try this channel if you want so 1st person perspective craziness.

Slide into.... or off of...

Holy crap! Another in the long list of activities I'm happy to watch from the sidelines.

Yea that guy going through the fence....and then down the hill....and then into the rock wall....and then down the hill some more......ow.

I've been licensed for a little over a year now, and I'd say it's as safe as you make it. Don't tailgate, don't speed excessively and ALWAYS wear your gear. You don't have to go full Power Ranger like those guys do but boots, gloves and a full face helmet are mandatory unless you're stupid.

Yikers!

I get nervous when I go too fast on my bicycle, so I can't imagine reaching speeds like that! I do like the NYOOM sound those things make though.

Ya gotta wonder Myn, if the *optimal crash is aiming for the Irish Sea From a 200+ -foot drop
