Have to admit each year it astonishes me. Watching the bikes go through the village of Kirkmichael at 170-180 mph is awesome.
For those that aren't familiar with it the TT is a motorcycle race on a 37.5 mile circuit of public roads on the isle of man.
Further details of race schedules, etc. here http://www.iomtt.com/TT-2011.aspx and some onboard footage and commentary from rider Guy Martin here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVXc29ZgutI - just listen to the speeds he talks about doing and look how close they come to the walls and other street furniture.
Yes it is crazy and very dangerous (two dead already so far this year) but as a sporting spectacle there really is nothing else like it.
And well done to McPint for win number 16!

The dark side of the TT was exposed again today with the death of an Irish competitor in the 600cc Supersport race (please DO NOT mention any names here in case he is known to people on this Forum).
This is the third fatality so far this year.
