The greatest racer of them all, Joey Dunlop, once said in an interview “there’s a green blur and a grey blur - i’ll try to stick to the grey blur”. Joey is, was, the racer with the highest number of victories, 26, on the island. One of the most humble persons ever. One of Irlands greatest sportsmen ever. A crowd of over 50.000 attended to his funeral after his tragic death at a track-race in Estonia.

THE most dangerous race in the world that's still held annually, bar none. There's not a single racer at the Isle who isn't a complete lunatic. Which is why they're legends.

[@ivokantarski6220]

Its human thing mate. Humans want the best tof the best on display. The 1s who can do things that 99.9999% of others cant are the real deal. Humans admire whoever is best within their ranks and put them on a pedestal for a good reason. Most people even if being trained by these guys will never be able to repeat their feats of courage and willing to risk it all for that moment.

[@vagabond142]

I don't think they're lunatics. I mean, I ride a sport touring bike so I do certainly have a screw loose somewhere :D. There is a great quote from Guy Martin in one of the documentaries about the race where he's talking about why people race there, and he said (I'm paraphrasing because Guy Martin uses utter Lincolnshire BlokeSpeak, which is awesome) "I've had a couple of close calls there, but nothing can beat that buzz of riding on the edge of death." So, they're not lunatics. They're explorers. They're exploring what it's like to live a millisecond away from death and ride that razor's edge. I mean, doing the speed limit on my Ninja 650 is already an experience because of what you feel and experience.... but no way am I going 320 KPH, sorry :P

Bikers are the coolest bunch of people on this earth. Despite reputation, and sometimes appearances, they are also the nicest group of people you'll meet. Nothing false about them, tell it how it is, will do anything for their brothers and sisters, and every fellow biker is a brother (or sister). They do huge amounts of charity work, that often gets ignored. When it comes down to the line and you need help, they'll be there when others won't. I believe it's because every biker understands any ride can be their last ride. They make the most of life.

@Dimetime35c good luck with that, I'm assuming you haven't been to the TT yet?. As others have said these guys take years and hundreds of practise laps to get around safely at any decent pace. Check out the lap times in the last few years, incredible. You'd be lucky to get within 5 minutes of the top riders until you get enough experience. Fair play though if you're brave enough to try. I've been going to the TT on and off for 50 years and have ridden around the course loads of times when the roads are open, so observing speed limits. The mountain section is now kept as a one way road during TT fortnight, and there is no speed limit so you can get a move on. Even then, when you can really get going you'd be insane to try and emulate the racers. Many visitors do of course and each year a few come a cropper which results in road closure until the emergency services have cleaned up the mess. Much respect to the competitors, they are a truly a special breed.

Pikes Peak Hill Climb is something similar. It's basically a rally race up a mountain. No guard rails, no run off areas. Off track could result in falling down the mountain side. Could be nice, sunny, and warm at start line at the bottom, to snow and ice at the finish line at the top.

The course is 38 miles long per lap, so most riders do not have every corner memorized. It is said that the legendary champion, John McGuinness is gifted with a near photographic memory, which gave him an advantage of memorizing every one of the over 200 corners on the track.

[@bigoz1977]

The mountain section of the Isle of Man doesn’t have speed limits most of the time. Just through the towns. There are riders that die every year and spectators too after the racing is done for the day. I think it’s about 4-6 riders die every year between pros and spectators. There is tank every year about cancelling the race but I hope it never happens. They are a special kind of rider that does the TT .

[@zurgemister]

It actually does have speed limits, it's only over the two weeks of the tt races that the mountain section is coned off for a one way, no limit system open to the public outside the race schedule.

[@nvstewart]

@@zurgemister Wrong. In the UK the national speed limit is 60mph, in the Isle Of Man the national speed limit is unrestricted meaning you can go as fast as you like. During the two weeks the one way system is there for safety. There are so many visitors everywhere that if they didn't do a one way system there is going to be head on collisions and all sorts.

[@CruelYeti]

Definitely the most dangerous race. Seems like every year 1 or 2 riders die there. Pikes peak hill climb is its 4 wheel cousin.

Pikes Peak is mostly safe now that they have tarmacced it. Watch Ari Vat's run in a Peugeot for reference!

[@samy29987]

@@redsidebiker I think that is generally sort of a misconception to a degree. Being tarmacced means that the cars are much much quicker and the risk of heavy accidents is greater, especially when going higher with no guard rails and the car/track changing too much due to the conditions.

[@kieranmcmahon1745]

The Isle of Mann (pronounced "Man") is a small island between England and Ireland. For 2 weeks every year, this race takes place. The event itself is over (I think) 100 years old, and around 260 people have died racing it, plus countless life changing accidents. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people go to this island to watch. There are no speed limits. The race itself is a time trial, where the riders are staggered at regular intervals, with each rider completing 6 laps. The lap is over 37 miles, through villages, hamlets, mountains and valleys. Quickest man wins. It is perhaps the purest form of racing in the world. The greatest one off race ever, in my opinion.

The helicopter filming the racers cannot keep up with them as they travel at full speed across the mountain . It is technically not a race but a time trial hence the TT. Unfortunately somewhere the word " Route " ( pronounced Rute ) meaning the direction to travel has been transposed to " Rout " which means " To defeat an enemy completely and force them to run away .

[@simonatkinson1107]

This is often called the Manx TT. A 38 and a half mile street circuit on a small island between Ireland and the UK. Two weeks of total Motorcycle Mayhem! The fastest recorded lap was 16.42 minutes where the rider AVERAGED 135mph/218kph. They are regularly over 200mph/322kph on some sections. Fastest top speed was 207mph/333kph.

I was an adrenaline junkie when I was young. I thought I was getting a rush running 150mph on the back tire. The 9 feet long stripes in the center of the highway looks like a solid line. People thought I had a a stainless steel set of you know what's. It was untill I seen what these guys do. It then I realised nope. I'm not too much. These guys ride on the razor edge. I seen one guy crash he hit a wall when he jumped the curb and came to an instant stop. No freaking way. Those guys are fearless. I wouldn't attempt that at 100mph.anyway awesome I subscribed.

[@Echo30Mike]

Usually at least one person dies in the TT ( tourist trophy ) each year. Watch some of the crashes, they will give you nightmares. 1 lap is around 37/38 miles long and it is basically a full tour of the Island, they usually pit after 3 laps of a typical 6 lap race. These races sometimes come down to seconds between the riders finishing the race of around 240 odd miles. Some riders are stronger on the open long winding areas in the mountains/countryside, and some riders excel in the built up areas. Half is in the countryside and the other half is through the built up street areas. Many spectators will literally stand in their front gardens with a beer and watch the riders wizz past. Spectators are often just a few feet away from the action with riders flying past you at regular speeds typically between 150 and 200mph. Often the riders corner in the built up areas and their heads are inches away from boundary walls. The course is known by all riders beforehand and it is OPEN to anyone that has the balls and a certain level of skill. - hence it's name " the TT - or tourist trophy ". In the lead up to the real racing starting, ANYONE can ride the course on a motorbike. That includes everyday riders. You just need a working bike, helmet and leathers and BIG BIG BALLS. My friend Jayne ( a mother of two small kids ) is a pillion passenger for an amateur sidecar rider. She travels all over on the amateur and semi/pro race calendar and yes, she has raced the TT. There isn't just one race, there are many. they cover sidecar racing, electric bikes, the smaller bikes - right up to the superbikes and I believe they also have veterans races AND vintage bike racing. These main races are usually contested by big big teams with professional riders, but occasionally, independent riders qualify somehow to try to mix it with the big boys. None of the kerb stones are removed, none of the manhole covers are removed, some of the lamp posts have a pitiful amount of crash protection around them and only a few areas of the course have bales of hay/crash barrier type protection for the riders. All riders know how lethal this course is, they all know they can die that day and that is part of the thrill of taking part. The roads are totally closed during racing and usually, you pick your spot to spectate and you stay there. There is NO speed limit for either the racing OR the open period for none participants. Being as though this is the single most dangerous motor racing event in the world, that is one of the reasons that so many people travel to the Isle of Mann each year to either see it, or participate. Crashes are very often fatal. I believe that there is also a gentleman's agreement to restrict bikes to a maximum power level.

WHY??? Both men and women (Yes! there are also female racers as well) all have that inbuilt (Gotta try this at least once bug) and those and other fans will not allow anyone to ban this yearly race...
