Wow! Looks insanely fun. But dude, never look back. Just know they are gaining on you.

From  last  to  the  front  !!

Another example of "suicide by spectating".

hahahahaha,  did you spot the lamppost with a single spare tyre to the bottom?  The area (HIGHER UP) where you smack your head against iS 100% lamppost.....  :unsure:

As for spectator safety, back in the 90's, the only spectator safety at the IOMTT was a sign saying that you sat there at your own risk....

If you were quick enough, you could duck below the wall....

Yes, that cought my eye too. I am not sure if they want to protect the lamppost from damage or the bike that slides into it. It seems they can't be bothered about the rider.

I think that tire is more there to spot the lamppost thet is further out than the other.

Sure insane, "put the brain on the hook as you put on the helmet" racing.

Wounder what size the singing 2 strokes are 50cc? 80cc?  115cc 2 strokes that sing very nice! (Yamaha RX-115)
