"The bike, ridden by James Hillier, achieved an incredible top speed on one of the straights: 206 mph or 331 km/h which made it the fastest bike ever to take part. He didn’t break the lap record, though, as corners were taken at a more leisurely pace."

  The annual Isle Of Mann motorcycle TT race is held on two lane public roads. No gravel "run-outs", no high tech energy absorbing barriers. Just public highway with all the blotchy pavement, mail boxes, tree lined, steel guard rail, cement curbed perils regularly found on roads designed for sub sixty mile per hour public traffic.  

 Moto-GP is great; but IOM is spiritual!
