Isle of Man TT

[FPG52]

SO I GUESS CRUISING AT 85 ON MY VALK DOESN'T SEEM SO FAST ANY MORE 

 

The Isle of Man TT was for many years the most prestigious motor-cycle race in the world. The racing is held on public roads closed for racing by an Act of Tynwald (the parliament of the Isle of Man ). It is the oldest motor-cycle racing circuit still in use.

 

The official lap record for the Snaefell Mountain Course is 17 Minutes and 12.30 seconds at an average speed of over 131 mph.

I have always wanted to sit in a cafe and watch the bike whizz by.

What amazes me is that every month or so someone posts about the IoM as though it's an obscure event. Like "hey, did you guys know about this?" I don't mean it as a criticism. However you come across it is cool and we all have different paths in life that lead us to things, some sooner than others. It just amazes me that there are still people who've not heard of it until recently.


And it is the single coolest race in the world.

They used to show it on the Speed channel.....I don't have that channel anymore so can't say if they still do.....it is cool

As if whizzing down those tight streets that fast isn't scary enough, toss in some hills to give you speed wobbles... ack.
