I don't think onboard footage can get more exciting. Imagine watching it in an IMAX theatre.......the second best thing after actually being on the bike.

I have a close personal friend who I crew for and he has done the last 2 Macau GP race (China).
The best story he has is when he got there, he is in the elevator with McGuiness. So they start talking, my buddy asks him - "so what's your favorite thing about this track", his reply was "getting on the plane and getting the beeeep out of here, this place is nuts"
Here my buddies is not about crap himself, this is MR IOM! And he doesn't like this place, WTF?!?!?! LMAO
The fact that they are driving down the street in the morning on their way in, then they close the streets to start the race is just NUTS!
Holy crap the stories!

Then check this out. This just inspired me to start tracking my bike and grow a pair of balls while on mine! I know this is old stuff but it amazes me everytime!

The Isle of Man TT scares the living sh*t out of me. Those dude have some balls for sure. But everytime I see it I can't help thinking... how longs it gonna be before one of those bike flies through a house and kills a family or kills a kid watching the race.
I guess its been going on for over 100 years... Hopefully that never happens.
Doesn't suprised me then.. I've only heard of the gnarly crashes and they only have like a broken rib or something minor its like how?!?! You just flew off a cliff or into a wall at 140MPH... I got more damage than that going 45!?
Still think motogp is cool. Isle of man just required balls where as motogp required skills. It's more than just going straight 140 mph. It's all about the rider, bike, development, technology, and etc...

he wasnt being sarcastic, while the IoM demonstrates the speed of those machines going in straight stretches with minimal turns, motogp requires true skill to not only keep the bike up but to go into turns with precision and speed. that's skill to me. I dont doubt the skill of IoM, but they do really demonstrate their balls' size more than their skill set

im going to have to disagree with this as there are a **** ton of turns at various speeds all of which require just as much skill and twice the concentration than pretty much any turn on a racetrack.
i think turning while in the air at 140 is probably more difficult than most any turn in moto gp and the only track ive ever seen where its an option is cadwell park british superbike i believe
