Isle of Mann TT - Lateral-g Forums

For those of you into bikes, the new all time fastest lap was recorded during practice. 131.4mph AVERAGE speed. That was the superbike class. If you have never broke 100 on a bike, I can't explain it. That is hauling a** with top speeds around 200 mph on public roads with stone walls and fences everywhere. The guys that do this have nuts of steel to say the least.

Definitely on the automotive list of things to go and watch. Goodwood is on the top of the UK events though.....

Isle of Man TT Superbike class = you have 'unobtanium' balls (screw brass, it's not manly enough). That is done on a small-island with small-island roads, NOT a professionally prepped racing surface. BALLS.
