Around The World In 80 Waves

The TT races on the Isle of Man back in the UK start this week. It is as absolutely bonkers as motorcycling gets, but I want to wish all the riders successful racing.

I went to see it when I was 8 years old and have been fascinated by motorcycles ever since.

The racers average in excess of 130mph on streets and mountain roads around the island, and sadly there are regularly deaths on the course.

If you want to know more about it I can whole heartedly recommend ‘TT-Closer To The Edge.’ The starting sequence will give you the general idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVMLv5It6Bk

Conor Cumming’s activities that year will tell you the rest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y07yt87lhEA

It is the dry stone wall that kills me every time, but apparently not Conor Cummings!
