Ha, nowhere near 200 mph. Probably more between 75 and 100. Still spectacular though and he's lucky he didn't get hurt worse.

 

crasy there is no room for mistake...

 

I was wondering why his hands were off of the grip then thety showed him brushing the previous wall. That's got to be frightening at those speeds. Anyone in the Isle of Man TT races has large cajones.

 

I bought the DVD for Isle of Man 2006, it's awesome. Unreal the scenery and helicopter shots. The speed is amazing and make it seem like they are going faster due to the tight roads DVD was like $35 at cycle gear though

I envy thee. Isn't it ironic that the United States is one of the only backwards *** countries using the English system when even the damned English use the metric system.

You envy the Yurpeans, are you mad?

They pay 3x as much for gas, have to eat things you regard as insects, have looney Govt's (one all score draw heh) and speak funny languages.

We Brits don't use kph we use good old mph, nothing wrong with it. Although we have to use metric monetry systems and weight units just because some **** in Brussels decides that its so. Oh and when you are talking about HP British horsepower is stonger than US and obviously the US gallon and UK gallon are different.

If only the rest of the world would catch up.

I only envy the Europeans on a few small things. For instance:

*Europe has a lot less fat people
*Europeans appreciate and ride motorcycles more
*the metric system
*most of the Moto GP, WSBK, and F1 championships are on European soil
*I can buy a RC30 or RVF400 in the UK

Is largely Yurps way of getting back at Britain for not lettign them win WW2. Everything is smaller and more expensive and more importantly run from central Gov't in Brussels that make George Bush look like a 12, rather than 5 yr old crayon scrawling vegetable.

And I can buy a shotgun, glock and ammunition so that no-one would steal it in the US.

Wow...hilarious.

However I have heard that British roadways have 'green zones' at stoplights, where cars are forbidden to stop. Then a swarm of scooters and motorbikes splits lanes, fills up the green zone, and gets to go first?

What you mean? If you got all of Europe's fat people? There's no way that by percentage Europe has more fat people. But that does beg the question, overall, does Europe have hotter women? I know Spain and Italy are held in high esteem but I know other parts...not so much.

They are catching very quickly. East European women are mega hot, but thats because they dont have any money and are forced to eat tissue paper therefore keepign them thin. Once they have trapped a rich internet husband they sprog up ad quickly become monsters

I think there is more soul to the UK than the US for sure, its harder to make a decent living and lifestyle goods are way more expensive. However I could never live in a Country that has no clue how make beer, although if a beach property was offered in Marin I would prolly take it to be polite.

You want mental, I'll give you mental.

In The UK our rubbish bins are tagged by a chip. It knows what we throw away. In Ireland they inspect what you have in your bins and fine you if you mix up anything, this is coming to the uK very soon. British roadways are amonst the worst in Europe, we pay tax on our cars then mega tax on the fuel now indirect taxation on tolls.

As for zones, we have bike zones and infact un-insured horses and the senseless creatures riding them have more rights than the average motorist. On my journey to work I pass three speed cameras and a mobile unit, being say 5mph over in each of these gets me banned for a year. CCTV everywhere that is now going to be used officially for 'spotting bad driving', what that means I will tell you when they catch up with me no doubt.

Seriously the US might not be perfect but it has more freedom than here.
