(62,639 posts)1. I'd love to see Isle of Man TT just once, but
I watched a video last year or two years back taken from the driver's point of view. That is one hairy course.

(14,915 posts)2. Yup, the TT is on my bucket list also.. To give you an idea of how dangerous it is
many highly trained Moto GP riders say they would not do the TT...
89 wins in Moto GP, Valentino Rossi's comments about the TT:
He said: 'I did a lap of the Isle of Man, and I understand why people love this because its f**king awesome its unbelievable, great.
But, unfortunately, its too dangerous. Sometimes, riders are crazy.'
'The Isle of Man is very difficult. If you make a mistake, maybe its the last mistake.'
