I enjoyed this so much I had to share. If you like motorcycle road racing you'll love this. Awesome nerve to race like this on public roads.

no HANS required just a pine box if you make a mistake! That race has been going for decades. My father was from Ireland and talked about seeing it when he was a kid and he would be 88 now if alive.

Sad part is Isle of Mann is off Speed and pinks is on. What a world of sissys we now have.

Thanks for posting I will be looking for more on Utube now

I use to drive on empty streets like that in 1975. Probably had one of the earliest sportbikesway back by bolting on a full race fairing on my bike My friend had a Rickman Metise Kaw engine but I could not afford that back then.

Great vid thanks! Now I need a new Ducati soon!

Yeah John, it's a shame SpeedTV has cut out so much good racing and replaced it with crap. The Isle of Man MC TT was one of my faves. At least you can watch it on the computer, albeit in lower res.

Here's a cool 2.5 min onboard video of part of a Superkart race thru an IOM streetcourse.

Awesome racing! 4 wide in a pack of six on a two lane road at 180mph, wow! The end was just as good too. Did you notice the rises, dips, and bumps they're riding over? It's sure not like a regular track.

I wonder if they have to show their giant brass ***** as proof of eligibility when the turn in their entry form for the race?
