A Biker's Prayer

Author Unknown

May the sun rise in front of me

May the rain fall behind me

and the wind

follow me

May the angels of my brothers and sisters who have gone before me guard my travels for they know the perils of the road ahead of me

Keep me safe through the city streets on my way to the land of swirling turns and rolling hills

Let the colors of fall keep me warm, let the eagle guide me yo the mountain tops, let the moon's light guide me through the night

May my tires not fail me, nor my engine grow old, may my bike draw life from the streams I pass

Keep my seat soft and my mind sharp, let the air of spring breathe life into my soul to journey to another adventure...

Isle of Man - The oldest motorcycle racing circuit. Just Insane

Insane Motor Race - Isle of Man TT 

 For those of us who didn't know: The Isle of Mann TT was for many years the most prestigious motor-cycle race in the world.
Between 1907 and 2009 there have been 237 deaths during official practices or races on the Snaefell Mountain Course.

Snaefell Mountain Course or Mountain Course is a road-racing circuit used for the Isle of Man TT and Manx Grand Prix Races held in the Isle of Man from 1911 and 1923 respectively. The racing is held on public roads closed for racing by an Act of Tynwald (the parliament of the Isle of Man). It is the oldest motor-cycle racing circuit still in use. The official lap record for the Snaefell Mountain Course is 17 Minutes and 12.30 seconds at an average speed of 131.578 mph (211.754 km/h) set by John McGuinness during the 2009 Senior TT Race.
