Is this weekend for you bike guys.

Here's what we are missing.

Crazy mofos

I would love to go that fast but I want absolutely nothing to do with the turns in town and the elevation changes they hit at those speeds

[Baba Ganoush]

Bat shit crazy. I wonder what it's like after those guys get off the bike after sustaining those speeds for that long. They've got to be unhinged for a week.

"Why is everything moving in slow-motion??"

[wickedblkgt]

that sounds like 635 on Thursday night.

[turboford]

One lap is 37 miles with the average speed of 132 mph. I want to go watch one of those just once.

I love doing that on 190 late night...

There aren't that many hairpin-filled pave stone road surfaces lined with trees and brick walls on 190...

[POSYJ]

No shit! - thats not even in the same zip code as far as riding skills goes

[whitetrash]

Doesn't someone die at that race nearly every year?

"that brought the total death toll in its 106-year history to 240"



***Source*** I think that includes another race as well though but same track

Sounds like Gary Johnson riding the Agusta again this year? I'd like to own one at least once. Those things are pure sex on two wheels.

Edit: Some decent accidents here:

He would have done a little better, but he blew one turn and had to deal with a couple of slower bikes. Did you see the part where he got the death wobble coming out of some turns, but just nutted up and hit the gas ? That was a hell of a lap
