Did anyone see the documentary about the TT races that are on this island every year,and have been since the early 1900's... Talk about motorcycles that go fast and on a dangerous course... Holy crap these guys and gals have balls... I think it is 237 deaths between 1907 and 2009.. I am not going to post any of the motorcycle deaths but there is plenty of videos of how fast the speeds are and how close the course is to peoples houses and castles and hitting rabbits and it is one of the craziest races i have every seen by far.

This race is really breathtaking in it speed, course, and how damn scary it is.. These riders are very brave or very foolish.. Need for speed i guess..I just can't believe how close the fans are as the course weaves in and out of the cities and countryside, and some spectators have been killed also...

I know C. and I had never heard of this race until last week when a documentary was on about it, and it was wild to hear the story about the race...The island itself is a self governing, British Crown Dependency. It is a very interesting little island...
