This is some sick riding (Dave Jefferies, Mad Sunday)!
This is a "follow-up" to my last TT post. This one shows TT champion David Jefferies going round the Isle of Man mountain course on Mad sunday. That's when the course is open to the public, and there are no speed limits. The traffic on the road makes you realize just how fast these guys are going. Sadly, Dave Jefferies died in an accident during practice for the 2003 TT races (see BBC info below).
First the video:

Mountain section of the course is shown in the video & the traffic flow is one way on this part of the course, so not quite as mad as first appears.
Seriously good rider was David Jefferies one of the best I've ever seen, Tragic accident.
