The Isle of Man TT is arguably the most bad ass motorcycle race on the planet. It just is. Held on public roads, with bikes of all kinds in a variety of classes, the entire place shuts down during race time and the spectators line the roads like little school kids waiting for the ice cream man. This is some epic stuff here folks and if you have never seen it before then be inspired to do something crazy right here. Keep in mind, the Isle of Man is not some place full of modern 4 lane roads and a road course like when a Grand Prix comes to a major city. No, we’re talking small roads, rock walls, lots of bumps that become huge jumps, and very very few barricades. That means that lots of people are standing with nothing but the small farmers fence or small wall around their yards between them and motorcycles going 150-200 mph. Yeah, it’s that kind of awesome.
Watch the video, love the action, and also enjoy the reactions of some of the people who have never been this close to the action before. You’ll see the look of shock on their faces, their hair blowing in the wind as bikes go by at break neck speeds, and the fun things that come out of their mouths after seeing them go by. This is fun stuff.

I’m guessing the Isle of Mann TT is going to be again this year which sucks.
No Isle of man TT this year. Resumes May 28 2022. I DVR it every year and spend hours watching this mesmerizing racing. Sadly a rider or two die every year at the TT which runs for about 2 weeks. The last real blood sport and magnificent.
I do the same every year. I watch all kinds of motorsports and this is my number 1!!
This race has always been on my bucket list. Along with the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Bonneville Speed Week
