Isle of Man TT
Check this out - a pretty neat documentary about quite possibly the most dangerous race in the world. Public roads, 200mph+.
Just for fun: Average speed around the track back in 1907 was 38mph, compared to todays 130mph+. The track itself is 38ish miles long and riders have to do 6 laps to get the best time, with average lap being around 17 minutes. So that is 17 minutes straight, averaging 130. Imagine the level of concentration required for this. While there are alot of big teams involved, alot of the riders have day jobs and do this as a crazy ass balls out hobby. Damn. Over 250 deaths on this track since 1907.

This beast needs to be named. Perhaps one of these days I can actually ride it for long enough where the giddy this-can't-possibly-be-legal-fun feeling disappears for long enough for me to realize exactly what I've done. I've often have the urge of wanting to just keep going past my destination when riding a bicycle but on this thing, its multiplied by 620. Well, 618 to be exact, for every CC in its Italian heart.

Yea, this dude is funny. I like watching him make uncomfortable scenes and getting folks to admit that their mommies still pay for their rent an shit. The pseudo-official sponsors and fun editing seal the deal. Thank you Million Dollar Extreme, but folks should know they can get punched in the throat if they talk like this to the wrong person.
