The Isle of Man TT isn' that high profile outside UK but the things these men and machines accomplish are absolutely phenomenal. In this year's TT the course record has been again broken by John McGuiness
John McGuinness has won the Senior TT for HM Plant Honda, breaking lap and race records on his way to a third win in 2006, and his 11th TT career victory.
McGuinness led from start to finish, setting a lap record from a standing start of 17 minutes 39.95 seconds (128.145mph), only to improve on his second lap with 17 minutes, 29.26 seconds (129.451mph). The Honda rider finished 20.21 second ahead of Cameron Donald in second, with Bruce Anstey third.
John Maeda , 38 , from Japan, was killed in this year's TT. Eevery around a couple of riders lose their to the TT. That perhaps only increase its enigma. You just have to give it upto to thses guyz for risking every thing for a race thats not even really good paying. Just to race at the TT you perhaps need ball so big that they would have to be hauled by 18 wheel semis. These guyz deserve our greatest respect. Their skills, dedication bravery and commitment should be acknowledged by the motorsport community at large.
They race on closed not-the-best-of Europan public roads which are extremely bumpy and narrow and lined by concrete walls metal poles drain covers and trees. Respect
