Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy)
Jun 9th, 2009 by Leo
Even if you don’t know what it is, you’ve probably heard of it: the Isle of Man TT is a yearly time trial race on (closed) public roads. What’s fun about it is that it’s more like canyon carving than a typical track day. There is no run-off space. You can’t go in too hot for a corner and ride into the gravel. So you have to err on the side of taking it slower…like in street riding. This year Valentino Rossi flew out to do a lap with Giacomo Agostini (who was the Rossi of the 1970’s). Check out of the video after the jump:
And here’s some really good footage from a few years back:
Cheers!

Funny how Valentino so seamlessly put in a plug for the new R1. Fast as his first MotoGP yamaha? I doubt it.
