Yeah, I had to watch it again to see the great Joey Dunlop in his final TT.
He was the best.

Uh, they're crazy...  It's raining, and these idjits are flying at 150 on
motorcycles.  Standing water, spray being kicked up - NO rain tires...  Holy
cow...

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you

Almost makes me want buy a sport bike again...I'll take a Yamaha R1 please!

These guys are crazy, they're really flying through those tight twisty bits at
insane speeds. It's really exciting to watch...especially the on bike
cam...really shows you how fast they're moving!

And they're racing between the walls and houses of country villages -
these guys make the F1 boys' safety-whinging look pathetic. A lot of them
don't even get paid for doing it!

the Superbike racers, either.  Insane is RIGHT.

Yeah, they are mad, aren't they.  The speeds they fly around that course
are suicidal.  I don't know whether to be in awe of them or direct them
to the nearest nut house.  Bonkers, completely bonkers the lot of 'em!

No person's opinions can be said to be
more correct than another's, because each is
the sole judge of his or her own experience.

  I'm glad you got to see that Eldred.  This was my first exposure to Joey
Dunlop and his and other's riding was amazing.   Unfortunately, Joey died a
short time ago, racing in another street course in Europe.  It has been a
deadly season in motorsports so far....

Obviously you're confusing TT 2000 with Swamp Buggy Racing . . .

No, I've seen the TT race before on speedvision.  I thought they were crazy
THEN(in the dry).  In the rain - it's on a totally different LEVEL of crazy...
I saw the 'tribute' to Joey.  They had a lot of nice things to say about him.
Yes, this has been a TERRIBLE season in motorsports... :(
