Title: Isle of Man TT
Post by: Rick Meredith on June 10, 2015, 06:16:08 am
Watching the US broadcast of the Isle of Man TT. They're doing it in 6 one hour episodes.

I don't see how they can even straddle those bikes with balls that large!  ;D

It's easy - they put their balls in their crash helmets, because they've clearly removed their brains! :o

Those POV videos are awesome. I'd love to see a HUD with speed/RPM/Gear on it. Maybe even Gs or lean angle.

That was so intense that I noticed the water in my glass in front of the monitor even leaned into a couple of those corners

I remember the TZ750 road race bikes. Pretty stout in that set up. In a flat track bike it had to be crazy.
