Isle of Mann, and yes, if you think you're fast, just watch a lap of the Isle by these guys. Very humbling indeed!!!

I've posted this before, here, and over on FB.  The Isle of Man is on near the top of my bucket list.

Watch the first 20 seconds (and then the rest):  goose bumps.

If i remember correctly, Steve Parrish was 4th quickest round the island in 1984 on a FJ1100, back in the days before the FJ gained sports tourer status.
