Title: Amazing Race:

These are real men….stupid ones but brave ones


This is an Isle of Man camera video done really well. It lasts about five minutes.

 

This is the last true motorcycle road race in the world. Each lap is 37.75 miles long with over 200 turns.

And the record for a single lap is over 130 MPH. There are straight sections where the bikes hit over 200 MPH.
 
There have been over 240 rider fatalities in the history of the event but it is bigger than ever today.

 

Two riders were killed during the 2012 events.

The helmet cam video over the last minute or so of the clip is breathtaking.

Wish I could get away with that, I have been 200 on a bike before though, it is the ultimate rush.
