    It began in 1907, and since then there have been 220+ deaths. Considering they only race for 7-10 days a year, and thats over 2.2 deaths per year on average, you can tell it's for hardcore riders only. One day I hope to get there and spectate myself, but it probably won't happen. May have to make do with SBKs at QR >.<

    "TT" stands for time trial.
    Although they look like they are racing each other they are actually racing the clock and they leave the start at 10-20second intervals, just that the slower riders or those with mechanical problems get overtaken quite often.
    A mate just came home from there and he said it is even more scary being there and that 3 riders died this year.
