Isle of Mann TT? Been watching it for a week now on TV. Looks awesome, and they get to the 160MPH range, I think.

awesome. Like stogie said, that looks like the Isle of Mann TT. The had a special on HD Theater on Discovery. Those guys are nuts. I believe the race bikes reached speeds close to 200mph.

It doesn't look like there is one single section of track that would not end in certain death and dismemberment if you dumped it. That is nuts!!!



Edit: From Wikipedia...
Between 1907 and 2009 (at the end of 2009 TT races period) there have been 226 deaths during official practices or races on the Snaefell Mountain Course
