OK, Race Fans...the Greatest Show on Earth Starts this Weekend...and, No, it's not the Indy 500! It's the Isle of Man!!!
Here's the information that will help you understand, why it is the greatest race ever!
EDIT: The Indy 500 is a great race. This year I think the speeds are close to 230mph. That said, at the Isle of Man some of the motorcycles hit 200mph on country roads and exceed 165mph going through small villages and towns. Sad to say, in some ways the racers are similar to the Japanese Kamikaze pilots of WWII. There's little room for error at the Isle of Man.
EDIT: May 31, 2018
Sadly, one rider dead and one critically injured from what seems to be a non-racing accident. The rider who died, Dan Keen, had posted an average speed of over 130mph.
