Would love to ride the isle of man circuit but not at the speeds of these guys. Must be on most motorcycle enthusiasts list. They use to say your not a real world champion unless you had won the TT. Sad about so many young guys dying. Hard to know what they can do to cut the number of accidents on that circuit and keep the integrity of the race though.
