New lap record at the TT- 136.4 mph average speed over the 37 mile course

. This was on pretty much a road bike, not a full blown race bike. Isle of man TT, the most exciting thing you will see outside a sex club

It is completely mental, I remember when the 120mph barrier was broken!!

I wonder if they will ever crack 140mph

Holy shit biscuits, that’s a bit rapid!

Those riders have balls of steel. I can’t even begin to imagine the skill, commitment, and mentality they have to do that sport.

That level of concentration needed to achieve that is mental. Really getting into the TT this year can believe I’ve never really watched it before

That’s about 15-16 minutes to cover a lap?

Fuck me! It takes about an hour to cover that distance around Stoke.

It's only possible because IOM gov have vastly improved the roads over the years and even road bikes are 200hp now. Thankfully it is much safer too.

I saw that, Peter Hickman flying on a not too dissimilar bike to what I gave in my garage right now!
