  1. The rendering engine for all of the NPCs there is quite impressive. Good job!

  2. Why are some of these spectators sitting so close to the track? Say there is an acciden and he could easily mow through atleast a dozen of them..

  3. To think some island between the UK and Ireland has better roads than we do in the USA smh

  4. How can a bike pull this hard and handle this well carrying >600kg of balls? The physics is all bent.

  5. The road surface is so bad it’s amazing. I don’t ride the crazy bikes but I still want to attend once before leave this place

  6. From the viewpoint on 1:06 I don’t see the clutch bing used for gear shifts, does he change them directly or is there any other mechanism?

  7. I don't know what kind of trophy you get for winning this, but it should be a wheelbarrow to haul your balls around in

  8. Speed is like heights. After a certain amount, you're dead if something happens, so might as well go faster. You won't be any deader at 210 mph than 80 mph.

  9. With the advent of driverless vehicles, AI and all the other crap, this is what humans do best and will never be emulated by machines. Pure emotion and supreme skill can’t be programmed. Breathtakingly brilliant.

  10. To know the course that well you ride on 99% muscle memory. There is no other way at those speeds. Amazing.

  12. You are in for a Treat, if you listen to ALL U2s albums AND Where the Streets off Rattle and Hum well ❤

  13. Ахуеть..фактически весь круг низко летел.

  14. The way he was flowing through some of those bends in top gear is unreal.. This lap will not be beaten for years to come.

  15. I haven't ridden a bike for years and had never been to the Isle of Man until last Wednesday. I had the chance before going back on Thursday to drive the Mountain Circuit, albeit in a Mercedes A200. I got out at Sulby Straight to take a photo and the thought of him coming through there at 200 mph just blows my mind. It's utterly sobering to go round every bend seeing all the padding still in place on the trees and the proximity of wall and kerbs and after watching this I'm just in awe. These guys are on another level. I will return there – next time on a bike.

  16. This is so mad I can’t even comprehend what I’m seeing.. this is poetry ! If y ever ever rode a bike in y life .. y know what kind of person can do that

  17. Glenn Curtiss did this on a beach in Florida in 1907 (136.4 mph). He was "The Fastest Man on Earth" until 1911.

  18. Nutts lap. I keep coming back and watching. Anybody else tilt their phone a bit when watching full screen? I swear I know a few corners I swear. Ahaha

  19. Different strokes. That exhaust sound would drive me nuts. My stock Scout bagger runs just fine without sounding like an 800-pound bumblebee with a gearshift.
