I like the helicopter shots very much, not so much the Michael Dunlop rear end shots.

I dont need to see a review for a $45000 convertible jetski/ATV, nice vehicle but c'mon, I want to see the bikes flying down the road and hear from the riders and crew.

I dont know that I could memorize 37 miles of road well enough to blast through it at +150mph

I love the slow motion shots showing how the suspension and tires are flexing in those 100mph+ turns.

I know 2 things: 1 I could never pilot a bike at those speeds, on any Tarmac. And 2, those guys are incredible riders to get those bikes around that island (and others) at those speeds with such aplomb. I love the commentary and the culture of the event.

Gotta make the pilgrimage one day soon.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.
