Some would say foolish.

Deadly.

Crazy.

WTF>

Others would say I would like to have the ability to run the Isle of Man.

I say it's better to try and fail than to live in the Gray Twilight, that knows neither victory or defeat.

FDR also said that and I believe it.

Listen to what a 200mph plus 1920 Indian Rider has to say about that.

At 68 years of age he was still setting records on a continent other than where he was from.

Burt Munro my hero.

I've never been a fan of Moto-GP, but I do enjoy watching what I can of the Isle of Mann TT races. These are production bikes (yes I know the top contenders are tweaked to the nines) running on real world roads. AT 55, I'll never ride a bike like that, but I enjoy fantasizing about it and watching those who can.

I was looking for the video where one of the winners, (I think Guy Martin) talkes about a "chafing" problem. Couldn't find it.
