Mad bastards, I'm really not into bikes - but it's hard not to feel admiration for those guys with a video like that.
I do like this though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZjAU943BfY

Hooning a superbike around country roads is not only exhilarating but also exhausting. Concentration required is immense. I'd shit out doing the TT course though. Even without the risk of traffic (other than fellow riders.) it's a whole other level of skill, bollocks and fitness.

Riding a bike even slowly is exhausting, Riding stupidly fast on public roads is extreamly exhausting, I can't even imagine what the TT riders go through.
I deffo want to go one year, and deffo want to ride around that amazing ring of road (albeit at much lower speeds!)
