2011 Cookstown superbike race. Its so sad we could never have events like this in the US, the lawyers and insurance would kill them. At one point one of the guys is brushing the hedges with his shoulder, awesome!

Very cool, thanks for posting that.
Speaking as someone who's not followed racing much, I've always found that watching races that run on public roads far more interesting to watch than races on tracks.

Very cool video. I follow track racing but I do agree there is something special about racing on public roads. The blind corners and narrow country lanes combined with the almost total lack of runoff make for some exciting moments.

Yep that's what it looked like to me too.

check this one out! Reminds me alot of the ABC roads as far as narrowness, trees and tight switchbacks, etc.

I don't think I'd want to be the rider in the sidecar though.....

By ABC's do you mean; all traffic going in the same direction, no deer, no dogs, no tractors, no turkeys, no gravel, no cow-patties?
Love the sound-track, thanks for posting D.

Great video! I agree 100%, I wish we could do this type of race here in the US.
