Isle of man video

watched this twice on z1oc and had to share

The video is good but the audio REALLY sucks!!! Whoever overlaid the sound of the bike with that noise has no appreciation for the sound of a higly tuned engine performing its mission in life. That's music that shouldn't be drowned out with noise. Anyway, nice video (with sound muted). Thanks for sharing. Ed

Here's a bit of Isle of Man with engine music:

Good Video!

I have a friend who does this......every year.......on a (few) Kawasaki's

MAD

Everything's a blur!!! I couldn't even imagine going that fast on those roads! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
I love watching as the front wheel pops up a little. :woohoo: So cool.

Hutchy sure knows his way around the mountain course. One of my favorite things about IOM is that you get the extended on bike camera shots that no other form of racing does.

I cannot fathom how someone can maintain that speed in the section past Ballaugh Bridge when the shadows from the trees are over the road. The strobe effect has to be intense at those speeds.

Did anyone else notice him passing through the sections of road marked "SLOW"? He had just downshifted to 5th gear at the end of that long straight. So what is that? 170 mph through a slow section? :blink: I know that the 1000cc bikes are geared to top out right at 200mph. Insane speeds with no margin for error.

Kind of makes this look pale in comparison...

Here's one of our local Irish National Road races & thats my mate in front on the Orange ZX6R
