Is it worth it?
I've never been allowed to ride a motorcycle after my uncle decided to do well over 100mph in a 30mph zone and had a head on smash with a car and was found nearly 100 metres further down the road with nearly every bone in his body broken.
The thrill of the TT races must be uncomparable to anything else but this accident makes me wonder if it's worth it.
Personally I've driven at nearly 140mph on a deserted motorway at night and afterwards been shocked to think what would have happened if one of my tyres had blown or I'd lost control of my car.
The thrill at the time was surreal but with hindsight I wouldn't do it again.
Maybe I've grown more conservative as I've grown older but what do you think?
Does the thrill and adrenelin rush of the danger outweigh your "common sense" and you go for it or do you step back to weight up the options before deciding whether to go for it or not?

I don't agree with that. Fate doesn't exist - IMO. If it does, then it means you're not making any choices for yourself, as your life is already planned out. This is bordering on a conversation out of The Matirx.

When I say "fate" I think I mean it in a genetic sense rather than a spiritual sense. Our genes dictate our fate [kind of thing].
Stuff like: at school I was naturally good at sports, whereas my best friend was a complete clutz with two left feet. That's not about choice, it's fixed. That kind of thing extends into all areas of life, so to my mind it becomes almost like fate.
