I gave up motorcycle racing many years ago after a complete knee reconstruction... Texas world speedway incident...

I still enjoy racing cars and going really fast, but these guys are in a league of their own...

I've watched so many videos from the TT,two of these I had seen previously but the last one (Michael Dunlop) was amazing....

I love watching the Isle of Man TT and have actually looked into taking a trip over to watch it. From what I have been told many home owners allow you to camp in their yards for a small fee.

I started riding when I was 7 and stopped racing when I was around 12. Wish my parents would let me get another bike
