The Isle of Man TT: They call it the Greatest Road Races in the World. I haven't been to many other race events, but everything about the Tourist Trophy is mind blowing: The bikes, the people, the closeness to the action, the noise and the speed...

To the right there's a link to some photographs from my visit in 2005. Below that, there's one longer movie summarising the best of the action from both 2006 and 2007 (the Centenary). Below that, there are individual clips from around the 37 mile circuit. The fastest guys do a lap in less than 20 minutes. The average lap speed for a 6 lap race is 130 mph!

Note about videos: They are hosted on YouTube and I have embedded code to run them in TheBrightStuff.com. If the movies don't work as expected, it is likely you need to update your web browser with the latest plug-ins. You may also need to "allow" the videos, if you get a security warning. If you wish, just click on the links underneath and watch them directly on the YouTube site
