Isle of Man TT

[Will there be snacks]

Anyone ever been? Bucket list item for me. I'm not a motorcycle guy, but always found this wild in such a beautiful place.

I feel like even as a spectator it's gotta make your pepis tingle

2 to 3 people die each year, on average, in the TT Isle of Man Motorcycle Race. Since 1937, there has only been one year when the race did not cause someone's death.

the participants definitely do border insanity rather than just gargantuan balls. i'd guess they fall into the category of here for a good time, rather than a long time. some are just wired that way. it's not just motorcycle racing. it's gotta be really hard on their families.

Some people have an insatiable need to cheat death; without which life seems void to them. Relationships with other people will always be secondary.

I went to see a race as a kid when we lived in the UK.
Absolue insanity.

YES! Bucket list deal for me too! I go down the rabbit hole on youtube with that race periodically.

They were running trials in Ireland a few years back when we visited. Mind blowing at the very least.
The actual IOM race was 2 weeks out.
These guys that do this race are bat$hit crazy

They should just rename it death wish.

I can't believe the talent and focus these guys have to compete in this.

Fun fact: there's a girls division too. Anyone seen that one live?
