The last of the great road races?

Long after the Carrera, Mille & Targa have been watered down by health & safety, Michael Dunlop is setting a new lap record of 133mph on the TT course. What these guys do is mind blowing...
maverick

Yes I've watched that a few times - came to the conclusion that it's only worthwhile if you're going to tool up and produce a few - otherwise it's a lot of effort to save a few hundred - I believe you can get carbon boots and bonnets for about £850 a pop
