There’s a movie about this I believe. Called “TT3D: Closer to the edge” or something along those lines. I’ve tried to find it online but have been unsuccessful in finding a legit copy. ---

Because if one person (citizen)out of one hundred thousand didn’t want it, it would never happen. And if anyone but the rider got hurt there would be huge lawsuits. ---

I would love the opportunity to ride on groomed roads like this and fly through a city. That being said… if these guys are pushing at 90%, my equivalent would be like 2%. These guys have zero fear. (I remember when they interviewed some MotoGP riders about the TT guys, their response was “ef that, those guys are insane” ---------- Post added at 07:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 AM ---------- When you watch a go pro video of a decent rider in the states from first person pov, it’s as if they’re crawling at a snails pace. ( often watch and think, he could be going 2x faster and still have plenty of room) When I watch the Isle of Mann videos, the opposite is true, I think that they’re going 2x as fast as they should be. Sometimes I feel like they are defying the odds at each turn. I truly can not fathom the speeds at which they’re racing at. :tup: ---

^ Good point. Almost every video you watch it seems slower than it actually is. Except these, where you’re thinking “my god, did someone hit fast forward”. ---
