Yes. Unfortunately, there are racer fatalities at the Isle of Man TT every year. At least two this year and we are only half way through the event.
Not so difficult to understand why guys in their 20s are willing to risk it all at the IOM TT.
Much more difficult to understand why guys in their 40s and 50s are still willing to put on the leathers and compete in such a dangerous event.
