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?
People obviously get a kick out of it, they know the risks. So yes it is worth it to live fast, but obviously not if you die...young.
What?
