Speaking of motorcycles, did you happen to catch any of the rebroadcasts
of the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy races? What a great race course, 30+
miles I think, around that island in the Irish Sea...twistys, hills,
airborne motorcycles, speeds *averaging* 125-130 mph in some classes,
sidecar motorcycle races...and vistas where you can actually see the
bikes roar by a few feet away, plus many of the bikes had miniature
video cameras mounted *and* there were helicopter cameras, too.

The races were exciting, and the coverage was terrific. These sorts of
open road races have always been my favorites, cars or motorcycles.
