Very cool series on DSC HD. My favorite part is the slow motion portions showing the tremendous pressure the suspension and chassis have to endure on that course.
The Isle is no longer in moto GP or anything on that level due to the extreme danger of competition there. Here's a few memorable shots-

Remember, safety first.
 
I have been memorized by some of the footage they get. I think the helicopter shots where the aircraft follows the bikes give such a stunning perspective of speed.
 
I use to watch it every chance I got. IMHO these are some of the bravest men in the world. It's crazy dangerous.
 
I watch it when it is on cable,I think 205 hdtv comcast has been showing it.One lap is around 40 miles.When those guys drive through the towns blasting past fences and homes at 140 mph :eek: And the side car:eek:
