Default Ghost Rider aint got shit on this guy

David Jeffries guided lap around the Isle of Man on a GSXR1000. Absolutely nuts.
He died on the IOM a couple years back.

Here's a clip of the last 10 laps from the 2007 NW200, it's another Irish roadracing event going through tight towns just like the Isle of Man but it's not a time attack, the riders are right next to each other. Lots of passing and great racing, complete insanity.

Holy crap!!! Although it looks like that first video is sped up. Haven't watched the second yet.

Edit, after watching the second video and realizing Jeffries was going 170+MPH, I don't think that vid was sped up

I set out to try that one day...Flat out on a semi public road I know well. I was going to go flat out devil may care come what may. I made it about 4 miles before I thought to myself...INSANE. And that was on a wee 600...

Same here. From 6:50 to 7:30 on the first video when he's going through the barely two lane village at 150 mph, INCHES from the curb makes me cringe like no other video. I get brain fade just watching the whole lap and they do dozens of laps a day practicing.

ehh the thing is... when your on the bike your so into it your brain fade will be vastly reduced... not to take anything from them... what they do is insane... and you may make a mistake or 30... but your brain fade wouldn't be so pronounced... ya know what I mean?
