There are several ohmygod moments in this video where folks get off their motorcycles at very high speeds. Not the point of the post. Crazy racing is. I can't begin to imagine the balls it would take to do this.

Been watching the Isle of Man TT races on TV and video for years One day I'll be there for the races. Its on the list with LeMans, Indy, and the Monaco GP. And don't anyone bother posting the video of the Subaru driver getting a little sideways during a demo lap at the Isle of Man. It just doesn't compare.

Do they have side car racing @ the Isle of Man? 'Cause that's the craziest of the craziest!

More than a little sideways. At 150 mph. On a narrow road. With stone walls on either side.

I work with the videographer who was riding shotgun in that video. I don't think he realized the magnitude of the situation...

Yes, and last week a sidecar passenger died in competition.

This, an F1 race and Le Mans are top of my list.
