Lay in a sand chair in the water with a tall cold drink of your choice and a big stick of Maui-Wowie.

Make sure a gorgeous native is by your side at all time to fill the drink and keep the stick lit. Both of them!

The Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) is frequently called the world’s last great motorsports event, a title that is beyond well deserved. The course measures 37.73 miles in length. Every June racers compete on closed public two-lane country roads at speeds exceeding 200mph, making it one of, if not the, most dangerous motorcycle races in the world. This often-lethal event, held at the world’s oldest active motorcycle racing course, is so popular despite today’s safety obsessed world.

The Isle of Man is a small crown-dependent yet independent island located between England and Ireland in the Irish Sea. It is known for being a tax haven and vacation destination for 50 weeks out of the year, but for two weeks every summer its home to one of the most dramatic and daring races in history. The topography ranges from climbing seaside hills to flat meadows to dense forests, with historic castle ruins and sleepy villages speckled about the land. The roads that traverse the island make up a course that is 37.73 miles in length, which go through all of these features as well as the various towns and villages with the largest being Douglas, the island’s capital.

This first video is a "no harm, no foul" video which is 20.10 minutes long. It is one complete lap which is normally done in 17 minutes plus. Only one rider ever went below 17 minutes and that was Machael Dunlap in 2016. The video length of 20.10 minutes is due to a couple of issues the rider had where he had to stop to fix them.

This next videos could include harms & fouls which may be disturbing to some of you children on here!

There are plenty more videos out there including fan reactions during the races and bad crashes but you will have to login to youtube for age verification if it's something you are interested in watching.
