Ghost Rider aint got shit on this guy
David Jeffries guided lap around the Isle of Man on a GSXR1000. Absolutely nuts.
He died on the IOM a couple years back. Here's a clip of the last 10 laps from the 2007 NW200, it's another Irish roadracing event going through tight towns just like the Isle of Man but it's not a time attack, the riders are right next to each other. Lots of passing and great racing, complete insanity. |

Edit, after watching the second video and realizing Jeffries was going 170+MPH, I don't think that vid was sped up |
those guys have some serious cajones.

They have bigger nards than I

I set out to try that one day...Flat out on a semi public road I know well. I was going to go flat out devil may care come what may. I made it about 4 miles before I thought to myself...INSANE. And that was on a wee 600...:idk:

That is fucking bad ass!!!!

Why should I worry? Your all gay right?
Just finished the NW200 vid. Those guys are really flying loose not to have any run off at all. Truly a man sport. |

The idea of taking a blind corner on a bike, tapped out in 6th gear as he was at one point puts a brown spot in my underwear. |
I can't see the video... but the Isle of Mann is a closed course durring the race so a blind corner if memorized really isn't that big a deal other than possible crap on the road... on your back roads the blind corners have possible 5 ton iron motorcycle seeking missles piloted by blue hairs coming around them.

This is what is scary about it to me...Racing on track means concentrating on hitting your marks exactly to the centimeter lap after lap. Racing on this open roads course, no difference. Passing however means getting out of your normal racing line and being off your marks, so lapping that course and racing that course become to very different things.
Then add that those roads are OPEN to traffic all day before and after the race so any old cage or truck (lorrie over there) can leak oil, antifreeze, throw out a gum wrapper and it might not get picked up by the corner workers/track sweepers. Then add the fact that your racing and anything can happen. Joey Dunlops brother died when the bike in front of him seized up causing a no fault crash in which, even though he was just happened to be in the wrong spot, he was killed! |
