Errrr.... Yet again; It's NOT a race. it's a series of 'time trials'.......

It not only represents "the greatest motor sport event in the world", it also represents a symbol of freedom. A supremely dangerous event that would have been discontinued long ago almost every other place on Earth, yet the Isle of Man Government still allows these racers the chance to compete, danger be damned.

First saw this as a kid 50 years ago. 50 years. And I still remember the shock of that first time being so close to the sound, the smell and the heat. Tortured metal. So close the sense of speed was overwhelming. Dry stone walls and phone boxes protected by straw bales. It’s staggering. It’s addictive. I have to keep watching it. I’m not even a bike guy. .

2:53 the dreaded death wobbles!

I really enjoyed living and working on Isle of Man, 1990-92. In Ramsey, the TT course is only a short walk away from our home on Brookhill. My wife and I watched the race, with our new baby in the pram. She (baby) hated the noise, even though we had insulated her ears. I will love to take her there again, now that she is grown up, so as to show her why it is such a fabulous race. [Aussie in BC]

Been a lifelong fan since my dad first took me there, about 5 years old. Now go each year on my own bike, ride the course regularly. Unbelievable feeling that everyone should try at least once in their lives. The racers, gladiators and legends in equal amounts ❤

If it isn’t the greatest Motorsport event in the world, it’s definitely the most dangerous and deadliest. Very thrilling! Jambi.

A friend of mine once said something like this: "saying I that would die for my country is just a dumb propoganda. In reality - I would kill for my country and death is a risk for that action". I look the same to sports that have been killed by making them too safe. People have made everything too safe because they think that deaths of people are the only thing that matters. Noone who does TT and did Group B wanted to die, but everyone knew the risk. Some people don't think that a trophy is worth risking their lives, but that doesn't mean they have to take this choice from others.

Normally, the only speed limits on the Isle of Man are in the main towns/habitated areas. The rest of it there are no limits for any vehicle all year round. Luckily the population isnt huge. What makes the race so intense is the number of winding roads and corners, not really many straights. He visited the TT when the weather was good, they sometimes race when its a bit wet. And when the riders get up to the hills it can get misty even if its sunny down on the coast.

Been there a few times, the riders are not a bunch of idiots but professionals who know what they are up against. And by the way, if you want to race the TT and take a 100.000 euro`s with you, they won`t let you ride. You have to prove you are able and worthy, and you can`t achieve that in short time. A lot of people are complaining about the accidents during TT, but I never hear people complaining over the hundreds of deaths every year during ski holidays in the Alps.

Ive always liked sports with a bit of edge to them. Ive taken part in a few too, but never owned a bike.

NW200 100,000 plus spectators, year on year for a road racing spectacular with speeds of 210 MPH riding shoulder to shoulder 3 and 4 abreast and lapping at an eye watering 124 mph. If you want to see the best of road racing then come to Ireland for it's many annual road races, like the Dunlop's home course in ARMOY the MID ANTRIM, COOKSTOWN 100, TANDRAGEE100, the UGP ( Ulster Grand Prix ) KELLS ROI, SKERRIES ROI, CORK ROAD RACES ROI and that's not them all. Some of these courses are nothing more than your average Irish laneways and that really adds to the excitement. Whether your into bikes or not, Come for a whole summer of racing and you will have the best time of your life.
