    That's simply amazing. I don't think both my nuts together are as big as one of theirs.

    I just watched this years IOM TT. I was surprised at the mech failures and running out of gas! Weird to watch a motorcycle race with a pit stop. Man those guys are really hauling!

    Reg, there is only one other race that has a pit stop, which is Daytona. Quick change of tires, and add fuel, and keep going. Great video.

    Well we can't forget the Dakar now and there are a few other cross country type races where fuel is required along the way as well as medical attention , sleep, food and tires.

    Now as to who has the bigger nuts.............no comment.

    I don't think there's a difference in testicular fortitude between IOM and Dakkar. I just belive those that are doing Dakkar, for at least the second time, have been in the sun too long and are serously mental!!!!!!!!

    And to the OP, what a fantastic vid of some racers I can only dream to be half as good as one day !!!

    Maybe you just need a better video camera.

    Sorry to put a damper on this thread but I have been to the IOM four times 1962, 63, 78 and 2005.
    Although I was astounded by the speed of the riders in 2005 in the end I found it quite boring as all the bike sounded the same. There was no variety in 2005 except for the French Voxan V twin.
    Whereas 1962/63 there was just about every configuration from singles to fours and two strokes, 50cc, 125cc, 250cc, 350cc and 500cc as well as the sidecars that had anything from BMW twins to all sorts of British engined outfits.
    They were the wonderful times in my view.
    I was also lucky to see Mike Hailwood's winning comeback to the TT.

    You should give the manx GP a try, plenty of older bikes, and 2 strokes mixing it with the 4 strokes.
    The TT isn`t about the racing though, thats become more of a side show, the whole event is a 2 week party with the odd race thrown in.
