hondaeater Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Can honestly say I wouldn't mind giving that a shot after all you only live once, why not go out with a bang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnss Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Can honestly say I wouldn't mind giving that a shot after all you only live once, why not go out with a bang yeah but I'd like to live quite a bit longer before trying it. i have had 3 different street bikes in the past a 07 r6/ 08 gsxr 600 / and a 07 gsxr 1000 and did my fair share of dumb stuff on all of them. they can get away from you in a hurry. the gsxr 1000 i had was stupid fast. I had to sell it before killing myself. i only weigh 165lbs so with that big of a bike it would flat out haul a wheelie good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juriha Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 There was a pretty sweet 30 for 30 on ESPN awhile ago...crazy for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downeast Johnny Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hats off to the guys who can ride it at that level. I'd love to ride it at sane speeds. The Isle of Man has claimed 246 lives since 1907. It's the Holy Grail for many. http://www.cycleworld.com/2012/06/06/isle-of-man-tt-still-relevant-after-all-these-years/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is those guys, they are on limited time. That race always seems to take a few at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldofashow Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Imagine the training they go through to be able to last the whole race I would puke on myself after 20 mins in a half hour probably shit myself first time catching air off a hill and sign my own death certificate first time landing with the head shake at 180 mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MID12sSSS Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yeah. Lots of training for sure. Prepare your body and mind. At those speeds, you have no depth perception. it feels unnatural for your surroundings to be moving by you that fast. If your reaction time is even a second off... Plus im sure they have that course memorized. Itd be hard to determine when a corner is coming up at 200mph. Especially when all the trees blend together. Its all just a blurr. Crazy.

Indymonkey Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I have my name on the list for tickets this year to the TT. I have done some club racing here in the states up until I had kids then promptly lost my desire to go into turn 1 with 30 other guys stacked like sardines.
