Ha, ha. If you ever come across the motorcycle races from the Isle of Man on TV, stop and watch for a while. Incredible!

—” the motorcycle races from the Isle of Man “

Very familiar with the race.
Superfast on OLD NARROW public roads!!!

Notice very few big-name sponsors?
Best not to have your name out front if something very bad happens.
“Since the inaugural race in 1907, there have been over 255 deaths on the race course. In 2016 alone, five riders died during practice and race weeks. Dangers abound at every single twist and turn of the road during this race.”

I rode AMA dirt for many years.

One of the funniest articles I ever read was by P.J. O’Rourke about that race — in “Car And Driver”, I think. Had to be around 30+ years ago. (I hope I’m remembering correctly.)
