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.


Didn't see that race. Usually they are presented on one of the many cable
stations and I only come across them by accident.
What I'm always amazed about is the lack of real boating shows...(not
fishing shows, which are a dime a dozen)
