bloodninja420 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Is there any coverage on US tv? Isle of Man TT is some real-man shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaler Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yes Velocity has coverage of the entire event! Starts this Saturday at 10:00pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tall_tracy Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 There's more episodes on the following week on Velocity, not just Saturday. I think its broken out to an hour each night. At least thats what I found when DVRing them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie14 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Great video. No matter how many videos of Isle of Man TT that I see,I still find it amazing how fast they race down public streets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue-yamaR6s Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 How do they remember the turns that quickly at those speeds? I would think they have to memorize the course to know where some of the turns are at how fast they can take some of them? That would be mentally exhausting.

tall_tracy Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'm so glad this coverage is on TV. I'm amazed by the speeds as well and how they can go so fast, jump bumps in the road as well as keep the bike in control when it goes all wobbly. Absolutely amazing, I have so much respect and envy for what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgetz524 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) I always try to watch this on tv. It is amazing, but this also happens.... http://www.crash.net/road-racing/news/205159/1/tt2014-rider-killed-after-incident-in-supersport-race.html http://www.crash.net/road-racing/news/205196/1/tt2014-karl-harris-loses-life-in-superstock-incident.html Edited June 4, 2014 by jgetz524 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The death-count at this race kind of blows my mind. On a per-participant basis, the TT is probably about as dangerous as climbing a lot of those 8,000m mountain peaks. It's a wonder that a place with such a nanny-state mentality as the UK allows it to continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with a race such as this one. But holy hell, 65 years old and started racing IoM in '92. Now that's a legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
