Huh? I think its the greatest too, but IOM has such a high death rate it should make us "more convinced" the streets are more dangerous?

This video is only suggesting streets are more dangerous than a track. Never once did it suggest not to watch or enter the IOM race

Isle of Mann is insane! Want more insanity? Go to Youtube and check out the Cookstown 100!! It's like a little Isle of Mann. It's CRAZY!!

I used to get LOOSE on the streets - splitting semis at 150 mph, dipping in and out of traffic on the throttle the whole time, pegging my little GSX-R1000 at 186 mph running into and in between traffic, everything.

Then my buddy took me out to Autobahn in Joliet, IL and I rode with STT. I've been out there a few times now and I really enjoy it. Since riding track I've been able to leave track things for the track and street things for the street. Literally changed my street riding style.

This video is only suggesting streets are more dangerous than a track. Never once did it suggest not to watch or enter the IOM race

the first sentence was meant to be an ironic response to the title of the thread and not reflective of which was safer but of which is more entertaining. also i watched the video but didn't listen to it (no speakers at work) so have no idea of what the commentary said or if there even was one but yes i get the point of the video. i don't endorse racing that puts the non-participating g.p. at risk. i have a wife and three kids that travel public roads. but i'm not going to be a hypocrite either that preaches on and on about something i've done hundreds of times. there will always be street racing no matter what , it's part of american culture and i'm sure alot of other places too. as far as being dangerous if racing were a 100% safe it wouldn't be racing it would be xbox
