interesting video of isle of man tt and some other racing bits...particularly the tank slapper in the opening scene. i believe the dude woulnd up just stabbing the front brake, until the tire just locked up. not sure if he lived... i have never had one that bad, but did have one at 125mph on my cbr actually dented the steering lock on the left side. scared the shit out of me, literally.

Talk about weird! Was just sitting here watching a show on TLC called "Sports Disasters" and it had that clip of the tank slapper at IOM. The guy did live. What ya dint see though is what he hit after he lost the bike. Looked like a concrete barrier.

Jeez. :eek: Next stop steering damper?

There are some good clips in that vid although I think I've seen the lot. Just checked and I've got 2.7gb worth of bike vids on my hard drive. :lol:
