Been watching Isle of Mann racing. The particular race I'm watching is the Super Stock class so not the fastest but still makes my head spin. At least one of the riders is grey haired, he should know better?? Interesting trivia on this race is Gas Monkey Garage is sponsoring a BMW entry, and it won! Peter Hickman was the rider and set a fastest ever time for this class.

Oh, OK.  I thought you were looking in a mirror again.  ;)

Every trip is an adventure, enjoy it while it lasts.

They probably all get grey hair by the time they're 25...

When I watch Isle of Mann racing on the TV, I often find I cannot sit down (or still), and must stand up to watch.   :o

Balls of steel. 

I've been 112 on a two lane through the woods.  But not for about 15 years (and never again). 

My balls are no longer steel (if they ever were).

I watched the whole video and answered a question I didn't know I had. Women have raced the TT too.

Psychotic Bovine

I love the first person views they show, but can only watch for a few minutes. 
It's insane.
I have seen 150mph on my previous FJ1200 in a nearly straight line.  I cannot imagine going 50 mph faster in a pack of other bikes.
These guys are insane, but all of them accept the risks.  We need MORE of this kind of crazy in this world!

What's that saying ?
