This is crazy! They should do this once a year on the Natchez Trace.


It would be a bloodbath with all of the deer that cross that road.

Forget the 2-wheelers, imagine being the monkey in a sidecar

A buddy of mine calls bike wreck victims meat crayons.

Ironically, he almost died in a bike wreck.

Practice was supposed to start Monday but it was rained out Mon and Tue. Today was the first day bikes actually got to hit the track. Racing begins Saturday

That was sidecar practice yesterday afternoon. But yes they are on the track. But just as many people die in practice as competition

Anyone else here track motorcycles? Managed to graduate to intermediate last year because they felt sorry for me.

Seriously though, those TT guys are on another level. Sure, there are more talented riders in motogp, but do they have the balls?

Well those TT guys who tumble down a mountain at 150 mph probably have their balls snapped off at some point.

The guy crashes. And then 100 yards down the track his body is still tumbling at like 150 mph.


Gotta figure by the second or third bounce just about every bone in his body is shattered and he’s already dead.

Don’t care how much money you can win.

I rode a sport bike all through my 20s and there was no chance i would have done this race.

Damn, I watched the 1st four minutes on my laptop. Going to put it on my TV, and watch the rest, when I get off of here.

I’m aware. I’ve been watching it for years and started a thread about it last week.
