Clearly not riding 100% the whole time. Wonder if some do this like a training vid to learn the course. Sidecars are crazy too. Plenty of crash vids if that’s your thing. Too brutal to watch.

Definitely not a fan of crashes, I enjoy watching speed & precision

Used to ride my bike up North once or twice every Summer to a twenty mile stretch of road with 120 curves. My best time was about 13 minutes. There was no traffic to speak of back then.



Check out the trip adviser at the start of the video estimating a 45 minute drive

A friend of my daughter has a cottage off M119, lake front. Beautiful ride.

My goal is to go to Isle of Man next year. I may be a die hard Harley guy, but yeah, that shit is insane and something I must see before I die.

Isle of Man is the last remaining gladiator event as far as I'm concerned. Those guys are true bad asses.

That's a good way to put it.

1 killed in 2023
6 killed in 2022
Over 250 killed overall

One guy touched a hedge twig at speed, caused him to crash, ruptured spleen and 2 punctured lungs and he felt lucky.
