Stroker Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Sorry if this is the wrong section, but has anyone ever done the Isle of Man TT? I don't know if you have seen videos of the event, but it requires insane cornering skills. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYtpV_BkyOY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred.Rodriguez Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Rossi actually thinks the TT more insane than MotoGP... Well, history would vouch for that - it was actually taken out of the MotoGP calendar because it was much dangerous... To answer your question, if it were 1st April - Id say "YES." Cheers!

warregl Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 The TT is in a class all by itself. Sadly the coverage in the US refelcts that (and not in a positive way - maybe if they ran in circles and fought with each other in the pits we would get more coverage). Not that I'm bitter... If you dont have any luck finding a TT rider here, I know Brandon Cretu has run it and he is somewhat active on the NESBA forum. You might try there. And if you want to read a good book that covers MotoGP and the IOM. Pick up "RIng of FIre". It is an interesting contrast between the old days of Ago and Mike the Bike, and the modern days since it became MotoGP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially just before the start of the MotoGP session, oh... Losail has been concluded. I downloaded it to my Kindle several weeks back! *thumbs up* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aslcbr600 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I will do this one day! I may not be the fastest guy but to even say you raced in the TT is one heck of a bookmark in anyones personal or professional career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I agree.To finish it commands respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_m_h Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 A Canadian racer Mark Gardiner did it and wrote a book (Riding Man) and made a film (One Man's Island) about it. Well worth a read and a look. He'll sell them to you excerpt from the film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
