Ugh... that made me nauseous.

Always be kinder than you feel.

Some googling of the info at the beginning turned up that he was averaging 128 mph.

Well over 200 people have died over the 100+ years at that place. That is as Dangerous as it gets in motorsport racing. Hard to believe they still allow it and still allow spectators so close. Impressive Video. I wonder how many laps in takes someone new to the course to get up to speed.

This track makes Nürburgring look easy. Thanks for the link.

That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

Maybe like Death Race 2000 on 2 wheels?

Isle of Mann, right? Yeah, lots of stuff to hit if you leave the bike. I wouldn't do it.

Yep Isle of Man. And some of them keep coming back year after year. I read somewhere, and looked for it, that I believe Michael said he didn't plan on do in much longer because the more you come back the more you are playing a "game of numbers" I can't find it now but it was one of the top riders from last year and I think it was Michael.

His dad and Uncle both died in high speed bike crashes. His dad after the bike seized and he inadvertently applied brakes when grabbing clutch(left thumb brake). His Uncle left a track at high speeds and flew into the woods.

BTW. Anybody find themselves "leaning" their head watching that video?

I wonder how many races you need until you can wear a Go-Pro.

Don't worry, I'll just pretend it's not there (while I get some gnarly shots!!)
