How about the ton.........times two?

Once again the Ulster GP doesn't disappoint. Part of the course running right past my wife's aunt's farm. Fantastic road racing. Racing at it's best....................and most insane. More insane than even the Isle of Man TT since these guys are bumping and pressing each other as opposed to a clock.

202mph (at 3:11) but how about 180+ in the wet!

Never gets old. Blew my mind when I saw this in person (not this year's).

Here are some UGP highlights in case you missed them.

That's insane! These guys are like superheros. They're just missing capes so they can fly off.

I grew up watching GPs, and that is what I think of when I hear the word "RACE". 8)

Mine was a sports-car course around a local lake, not bikes. http://www.gasketgazette.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=14:1992-fireworks-fitting-for-a-truly-roadworthy-celebration&catid=19&Itemid=118
But trees and rocks, as well as "water-hazards along the roadside (often within inches) made the race course untenable in the modern day, when insurance underwriters have the last say on whether an event is held or not.

In my opinion, racing has become too regulated, killing innovation. And too safe, in the U.S.A.

Yep... That's why my wife says NASCAR is for pussies. These guys are amazing...

That was orgasmic. I didn't catch the GP. Does anyone know what happened to the guy who's bike pretty much exploded?
