Some'a these guys are taking it at 180mph, 280kph.

slowest through the corner is a Duke @ 143mph, 230kph.

no way near that fast. TT guys are legends, but once I get my Big bike license and a few years experiance, I'd love to give mad sunday a go.

I'd probably need new underwear @ 70 mph

 

[ToastToGo]

Holy crap...screw that!!! I give those TT guys MAD props...no way in hell I could do stuff like that.

90 tops

 

[Jestington]

You have to be mental to even attempt that, TT guys are insane !

 

[AZZ3R]

You'd be surprised. 90 is about reasonable through this bend for a normal day to day rider.

But credit where credit is due these guys know how to race & I'm sure someone the likes of Guy Martin, Michael & Joey Dunlop, John Mcguinness would be able if not better than a few GP riders but they prefer the TT. Hats off to them. Anyone seen TT3D ? Now that's a bike film worth watching if your in the slighest interested in bikes.

180mph through that corner is amazing, it's not like it's just a tiny bend in a straight, that's still a proper corner.

Wait ?!, What happened I blinked. :O Amazing Skills.

Hey I almost crapped my pants just watching the video! Would be so awesome to watch in that spot taking pics.

I'd probably need new underwear @ 70 mph

forget the underwear I'd need my 40 virgins waiting on the other side because god knows I wouldn't be rubber side down after that bend

 

[senthx]

I onced did 155mph straightlining, and that was exciting enough thanks.

 

[AZZ3R]

You'd get them 40 virgins aswell. theres a 24ft brick wall on the right hand side after that bend.

your about 2ft away from the wall. So, bottoming out the front & rear shock, throwing all your weight left and praying that wall doesn't get any closer, Hehe.

So much praise to the TT guys, MotoGP riders have said "The TT riders have more balls than brain", Haha.

I remember on ITV 4 seeing Rossi watching the TT and declaring that they were all insane.
