I know it was being discussed elsewhere, but alas, I can’t find the thread.

The Isle of Man TT should be on the radar for an Outrider trip.

Ties in well with the adventure and racing interests. And frankly, I can’t think of a more insane event in all of Motorsport.

This video linked on X is a full lap video showing 6th gear wheel stands throughout the lap.

Bonkers speeds mere inches from death against stone walls and hedges that have been there for generations.

This sounds like an extreme liability issue...I will see what I can do.

Will also meet with the lawyers and bulk up the waiver.

I can’t imagine the perceived liability would be any greater than whatever is in place for running with the bulls.

Purely a spectator for this event. And I’m unaware of any spectators being injured through the years.

That’s a great idea.
 
My moms grandparents immigrated from the Isle of Man, one of the first posters I had hanging on my wall as a kid was a photo of couple of TT racers leaning into a turn. "Hurricane" Bob Hannah with his leg in full extension on the ground navigating a YZ around a berm in a turn was right next to it. My mom was there for the races one year, she said it was impressive.
