Isle Of Man TT 2006

June 14th, 2007

2007 is the 100th anniversary of the Isle of Man TT, an international motorcycle race held annually on the Isle of Man, just off the coast of England. The race is run on a two-lane public road that circles the island for a distance of 37.75 miles. The current lap record is held by John McGuinness with a time of 17 minutes, 29 seconds at an average speed of 129.45 MPH, but speeds can reach over 200 MPH. The Isle of Man TT is one of the most dangerous races in the world and since 1907 there have been 223 deaths. (including the MANX race) One thing is certain, these riders are extremely talented. The amount of focus required to navigate a two-lane road at such high speeds is nothing short of amazing.
