i had seen the notice Sledge-  the Isle Of Mann is the original "widow maker" of road racing. i have never understood what kind of seats these bikes have because the riders must have nuts the size of grapefruit!!
it almost makes eating blowfish look like a reasonable activity.

i played a game once, motorcycle racing, that had those races on it. tough courses, even for a game. i can only imagine actually riding them condolensces to friends and family, and a beer for the fallen rider.....   :cheers:
