The Isle Of Man TT - World's Most Dangerous Motorcycle Race!

It not only represents "the greatest motor sport event in the world", it also represents a symbol of freedom. A supremely dangerous event that would have been discontinued long ago almost every other place on Earth, yet the Isle of Man Government still allows these racers the chance to compete, danger be damned.

[@pitchforkpeasant6219]

The freedom to choose your own path. True freedom 😊

[@flyingfox7252]

Your comment is fantastic and says it all. Frankly the world is now so bound up in safety, laws for this and that, we have to ask permission to 💩 these days. People generally now have no resilience or self reliance they look to Govt to save them. Well don’t hold your breath for that. The freedom to choose is what the TT means - imagine if someone tried to promote such a concept today - it would never be allowed !!!! That’s your point and it’s well made. Thanks 🤩

A friend of mine once said something like this: "saying I that would die for my country is just a dumb propoganda. In reality - I would kill for my country and death is a risk for that action". I look the same to sports that have been killed by making them too safe. People have made everything too safe because they think that deaths of people are the only thing that matters. Noone who does TT and did Group B wanted to die, but everyone knew the risk. Some people don't think that a trophy is worth risking their lives, but that doesn't mean they have to take this choice from others.

[@bobforton3722]

Normally, the only speed limits on the Isle of Man are in the main towns/habitated areas. The rest of it there are no limits for any vehicle all year round. Luckily the population isnt huge. What makes the race so intense is the number of winding roads and corners, not really many straights. He visited the TT when the weather was good, they sometimes race when its a bit wet. And when the riders get up to the hills it can get misty even if its sunny down on the coast.
