Isle of Man TT 2009 is happening!

[King of Kailua]

This is probably the coolest race series ever (http://www.iomtt.com/). I think it's arguably the best spectator race on the planet. Someday I am going to see it live. Unfortunately I haven't seen any media coverage at all in print or on TV. Englands iTV is covering it and you'd think in the states the Speed or Versus networks would have something!

Is anyone watching? If so, bless us with some commentary!

Here's a late breaking YTL from an onboard 2009 TT Superbike

One of the wildest motorsports events on earth...I love the TT:cool:

That's a great race and I'm not a motorcyle racing fan. I would say that for spectator events time trials can be great if you have a good spot to watch.

I think this is a really great TT too:

And in the first time since ... well forever, Norton has a bike in the race!

The Isle of Man for 2009 is also the site of the historic first annual TTXGP (http://www.ttxgp.com/)electric bike race. Zero carbon and clean emission!

I love the WRC (http://www.wrc.com/) and F1 (http://www.formula1.com/), but IOM is something really special.
