It takes balls to ride that fast in the rain, and especially in the Isle of Man.

You can buy the same tires...but where do you buy the balls? There probably not going to let them go.

Ahhhhhh, yes! Real road racing! It's on my bucket list; to see it........ not to run it, LOL!
It would be a blast to attend the races and then to ride the roads afterwords. A dream vacation for sure.

I think the Sunday before the race week starts the have "Mad Sunday" where they close the roads and let anyone ride the track. Always have a few bad crashes then. Imagine, being on the world's premier road circuit with a couple hundred speed crazed, barely competent idiots....
