The race has already claimed an experienced 27 year old making his 19th TT start. He leaves behind his wife.

These riders and their bikes amaze me but I can’t bring myself to watch TT anymore. So...many...deaths.

RIP to this rider and the others who will follow.

That's sad news. I feel so bad for his wife. Sounds like he had so much going for him.

Sonic605hp · Jun 4, 2019

RIP. Those guys have the biggest balls of them all. Most dangerous race on the planet.

I love the race. I've said it before, I would love to see what kind of time I could put down on that course.

I've watched this video probably 1000 times. And I'll probably watch it another 1000.

Pour one out for the bravest/craziest of us all!

In a way I wish it were a rule that you couldnt have a wife or kids to run this.. So many hearts broken.. But I also respect the freedom of choice so its a catch 22. Oh well

RIP Daley.

Was just talking about the TT with my wife telling her that it’s on my bucket list. Would love to sit downtown and drink a pint while racers scream past me at ungodly speeds.

I don't understand how they fit their balls in their suits.

It's so crazy that these riders can go so much faster per lap, but the bikes just can't handle it. Even on the top of the mountain hill over looking the water doing over 165mph the rear of the bikes are dying for traction and slapping riders all over the place. It's amazing these guy don't react, get scared or back off for one second!!

Concrete walls, tree's, houses, mountain sides and mile markers... No safety anything.

Last year zero deaths... Odd for this happening unfortunately was due

There were 2 deaths last year, going through the lists there has never been a no death year.

It's not the bikes, it's the fact that they're on unprepped, public roads.

Attending this event is a bucket list item for me. But, you have to plan years in advance.

You cannot panic when s bike becomes unsettled. You have to know the machine and allow it to be an extension of yourself. If you back off the throttle at 160mph+ with the bike dancing under you, it will toss you. You cannot allow fear dictate your actions at that speed. You have to be fully aware and calculated in every move.

I had to keep that in mind when I had my Yamaha FZ1, and that was just on twistie roads doing 70-80. The TT race on Man is... ****ing bonkers.

My94GT · Jun 4, 2019

This race is just amazing, the talent of those riders is far and above even that of GP riders.
