Awesome...just awesome.

I know I'm not the only one doing it, but does anyone else actually feel physically uncomfortable trying to stay immobile and not leaning and shifting your weight while watching these types of videos? If I stop myself from at least tilting my head I find myself tensing up.

Perhaps it is a sign I haven't been riding enough and have resorted to riding vicariously through videos

Been following this for a while. It hits hard when the riders passing away are younger than me. I'm a huge Michael Dunlop fan, so I was bummed when he dropped out of the first race. Seems like the weather has been the consistent winner this year.

Yep, it's dangerous, and deaths aren't uncommon. No one is forced to do this. Thankfully, people still have the Right to engage in risky activity if they choose to. I was there last year.
 
I wonder if the IOM riders during the 1960's ever thought the bikes would be so stinking fast.
