Thread: For the 2 wheel rev heads

Nice - the term "temporary citizens" comes mind...

The way these guys ride is the main reason I don't get myself my bike licence... I know I would end up killing myself pretty quick

I'm reckless enough on my 2 stroke 85cc dirt bike

Sorry, but I thought it MIGHT be a fun clip for everyone (not just the 2 wheelers)! We have fun police here now?

General Chat is listed as 'general discussion... Think of it as a fireside chat' I reckon this clip would be a topic of conversation around a campfire. Sorry if I'm out of line!

Then why do we bother with having sub-sections on the forum?

(I think we have too many sub-sections.)

I went to my local Hoyts theatre late last year to watch the Isle of Man on the large screen. Regrettably, I didn't take ear plugs so, after less than 30 minutes of sitting there with my fingers in my ears, I had to get up and leave. It was simply painful. I did complain about the sound level but to no avail.

I could be wrong but i have never heard of the big names from super bike or moto gp having a crack at is IMO the most insane motorbike race on the planet. as the TT or tourist trophy name suggests a lot of these nut jobs are not pro riders just normal(maybe) blokes keen to scare the **** out of themselves

There are and have been big names race this and ridden around this circuit for exibition laps.
Cameron Donald is one Aussie who has done extremely well racing here and at the TT. just recently. MotoGP riders have also done exibition laps and shook there head at how fast and dangerous it is.
There aren't any just normal blokes capable of racing the TT. if you look through the riders list and then check there resume' they are all extremely good racers and a lot come from the road racing curcuit in England / Ireland etc. I have had an aquaintance who raced the TT once and only once as it cost big $$$ to mount a campaign and he loved it but couldn't afford to do it again.
