    Ride it yes but at not those speeds :eek: The first crash was because the rider didn't set up his corner properly and carried to much speed into the curve.

    I figure about half way through the slide he was thinking one of two things

    Entering the curve and said "oh SH)t!"

    Halfway through the air "oh fu(k this is gonna hurt"

    Yep, the PETA people will be after that rider for scaring the sh__ out of those poor sheep. I once heard what the average yearly death rate was for that race and I forgot! Dam age. But I remember it being a surprise to me. Uh,, what was I saying????

    I remember about the idea of the race in Cape Breton..sounded like it was gonna be fun. I'd love to ride the IOM but at a nice pace..years ago I's have pushed it likely but I've used up most of my nine lives.
