After being canceled for two years because of Covid, the Isle of Man TT, the most dangerous race in the world, is back, and somebody has already been killed. And it's still only practice. https://www.crash.net/rr/news/100437...ash-qualifying

That makes a total of 276 deaths: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...rse_fatalities

I'd love to ride the course. At about 1/3rd their speed. I'd want to enjoy the experience. Not just survive it. (Or not.)

We have something similar in the States, but I'm NOT posting about it.

I like MotoGP racing. High speed on a true track, plenty of thrills. If it were possible, I'd like to suit up and ride a bike around the track a few times, just for giggles.
