Been watching this race for a few years, insanely cool.
Got to go see it one year.
09 KTM250SX. 02 CR125R, 00 YZ250, 03 YZ 85 and a Harley :-)
It takes, as Roger DeCoster noted, more talent to ride a two-stroke

huge balls needed , funny thing is most of the guys are that quick on normal circuits , yes they are fast but very few of them can run at the front

Talk about death shake. I've never seen a street bike catch air (with a rider on it).
Mixin' gas and kickin' ass, Burnin' oil and smellin' royal. Two stroke until I die (which hopefully isn't soon)   If your not mixing gas, your not kicking ass.

I love the I.O.M TT footage. On my bucket list.
