I'm with you. Took balls and skill in the 60's (and earlier) and still takes massive balls and skills today. Watching that race and those bikes gives me a hard on. Car racing is alright, but when you see how much those bikes move around (thanks goodness for high def camera's!) it highlights the complexities of riding a machines like that right on its limit...and those guys do.
