I always thought that the TT racers must be of a different breed of man, either that of have part of their brains removed that control fear!

Either way one of these days I will get over to watch, I just hope that no one gets hurt.

Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx1LAaJdrRE&feature=related especially around 1:35 and watch as the rider goes through a fireball and then swerves to miss the fallen rider, blink and it's gone.

Guy Martin was restoring a fishing trawler on channel 4 a few hours ago! I was thinking 'isn't that the eccentric bloke from the TT?!'

It'd be amazing to go pillion on one of those TT bikes, a once in a lifetime experience that would be, get a good helmet though!

Another good one to watch http://vimeo.com/46856767

"get a good helmet though!"

I think I'd want a complete set of airbags installed all over me - those guys are seriously nuts!

Two of my faves (especially the second one).
