You are right about fearless at the Isle of Mann. Sometimes spectators die with the bike riders too. Friggin' intense bike race.I hate to use the words bucket list. And I wish it wasn't so far away, and probably pretty expensive to get there and back, but the Isle of Man TT race would be an awesome race to see. Completely fearless racers. Maybe one day. Till then just watch the highlights on YouTube.

I would love to make just one lap. Would I be competive? Only in my head. Got my wife to watch some videos of with me, she declared "Those guys are nuts! You would fit right in with them." But dirt bikes and rodeos in the 80's broke me down enough that I will have to settle as a spectator.The Isle Of Mann TT (Tourist Trophy) race started in 1907 although other forms of racing started in 1904.
the course is 37.73 miles long and has 218 turns/curves. It is run on public roads.
A very challenging course which has had many fatalities since its inception. It is an event that is on the bucket list of many motorcyclist including myself. As a spectator that is.
