was interesting was when GP racer Valentino Rossi took a few laps of the Isle of Man circuit he said
famously deemed the event "too dangerous" for him to compete in professionally.
. The Isle of Man is run on local streets on an Island in the Irish sea. Not on a track..
Same speeds, more danger.
Now THAT'S nuts...
