2 per year that is a decent number. Seems less then the few videos posted would imply though!

Tend to disagree, they may have been slower, but tires, suspension, etc are nothing compared to what they are now, so equally as dangerous 70 years ago as it is today IMO

But overall thats insane stuff!

Already got my DVR set!!! Someday soon I hope to be going to the actual event. I've seen several MotoGP races the last few years and they can't hold a candle to the craziness of the TT!
