Watch the Isle of Man TT races. Those dudes are absolutely insane. I think they average around six fatalities a year.
The Isle of Man is on public roadways, but those roads are closed to public use when the TT is being raced, so it's only the bikes on the road.
Yes, there have been lots of deaths in the history of the Isle of Man, mostly due to the fact these are normal public roads and not banked corners that help riders stay on the road much easier. The roads run through normal countryside without a lot of safety barriers to help in case of accidents.
Oh, and there have been 265 rider deaths at the Isle of Man since it began in 1907. A far cry from your 6 fatalities a year number.

This number includes the riders killed during the Manx Grand Prix, and Clubman TT race series of the late 1940s/1950s.
Just the Isle of Man races including practice is around 156.

I always stop at the volcano
Have you or anyone else actually stopped there? Is there anything worth seeing? I am always so tired of incrementally slowing down to 35 and then doing the opposite at every little dead or dying town I can't bring myself to make the side trip.

I mean its a good view. But hardly worth the added time to be honest. Just thought I'd throw it out there

I-17 between Phoenix and Flagstaff is pretty damn curvy and climbs like 4,000 feet in 100 miles.
I've hit ice on that road in June.
Hwy CA-58 rises about 4400 feet in about 50 miles between Bakersfield, CA and the Oak Creek Pass in the Tehachapi mountains.
Once I drove that route in May, it was 100°F in Bakersfield and sleeting in Tehachapi and 36°F.

You live in a world where videos of people eating tide pods begat more people eating tide pods.
That’s how.

Yep, and it will be difficult for me to feel bad about it.

It looks like he is going 150-160ish when you can glimpse the speed on the right, but that may be set to kmh for effect. It doesn't look like he's doing 150 to me. Definitely not 210. I'm not an expert though.

I wish they’d invent an app that charges drivers who you pass on the right a small fine of $0.10 cents.
When you go to register your vehicle, you get charged that fee offset by those who you you passed.
I passed 1,000 vehicles on the right. 10,000 vehicles passed me on the right. I owe an extra $900 to register my vehicle.

You’d imagine huh? So front to arse at 90 mph, no issues there? Maybe just back off a bit? But I’m sure you’re a good ol’ baw with racing in the veins, your super duty can go 90 to nothing with your cat like reflexes! No burning kids on the side of the road.

Yep. Hopefully he doesn’t hurt or kill anyone else when it happens.

Hopefully. These Louisiana and Texas drivers are trash. Don’t expect any remorse from them.

There are places here that climb that much in less than 10....

Yeah, I know, I've been all over Utah.
I was saying that between Phoenix and Flagstaff isn't a likely place to do 210 MPH.
Not many towns, or traffic, but there's plenty of other reasons you wouldn't want to do it.
Last time I traveled it, it was in poor condition too.

Did he back off it a bit when he saw that white car parked on side of the road?
Posted on 1/25/24 at 7:53 pm to Dadren
IDK I've had a few cycles and seen some crazy stuff, but that dude us lucky to be alive.
Posted on 1/25/24 at 8:21 pm to Nawlens Gator
No way he averaged 210 MPH.
