Isle of Man TT racing coverage on TV - on every day for one week

[BruceK]

This is the annual week of racing on the Isle of Man and coverage on TV in the US is on Velocity Channel at 10pm CDT each day this week, starting with this Saturday (2 June), and running to next Saturday night.

The first motorcycle race was held on the island in 1907, and the racing there gets more incredible every year.   Lots of different classes, including my favorite, motorcycle sidecar racing.   One lap, through cities and up over the mountain, is about 38 miles long, and average speed is about 130 mph.

Just incredible stuff.


Here's an onboard camera look:

I don't know how those guys sit on those bikes with the size balls they must have! Absolute nutters!

Anybody else following the TT races?

Holy Cr@P...if I rode my bike like that, I'd have to change my underwear every mile.

WOW !  :-\

Not sure where to watch, nor if I get the channel(s).

I have watched some youTube videos/documentaries about past runs of the TT.  I'm too chicken to even consider trying anything like that.
