yes, people die here every year, but the intensity and beauty of challenging the Isle of Man TT make it less insane than many of the "normal" things people invest there energy in during everyday life...

Very cool. I truly admire those who can ride like this. I'd just love the ride the course myself, although at a much slower pace.

Re: Isle of Man TT review 2011
Great video, thanks! I don't know how I missed the original post...I see it's been a month...
I took a real liking to the TT this year. Something about being in the UK so having such great coverage to watch every single day. If we were going to be living here during 2012 TT we'd have a place to stay (friends parent's house) but it's not meant to be. It would be so fantastic to be there during the event!!!

I raced there a few times back in 69-73 on a production 250 Yamaha street bike with a top speed of just over 100mph. It was scary enough. These modern guys are supermen.
