so so so fast......and they just keep getting faster..i cant imagine a perfectly dry track in the next couple of years.... 140+ eventually?

I haven't found the TT on tv anywhere (Comcast). I thought surely Velocity channel would show it as they usually do.
I'll have to Youtube it this weekend.

I have been recording them off of Velocity, but I'm on dish.

I am sure there will be an on board video coming. I watched Harrison's opening lap of the Superbikes race the other day and it was startling to watch how out of shape he was in places.

Shieet! Scares the bejeezus outa me. How can this become any faster? Truly the last bastion of freedom.

 

[john blaze]

Been watching these clips on Youtube for a long time, but this speed is freakin alien. And on public roads + trees +potholes + spectators...and its getting faster? Damn!!!

He loved racing and lived for it, along with life comes death unfortunately.
He died doing what he loved.
Story ends.
