I think they will be on TV, on Speed. The fastest superbikes in the world race through the center of towns, up and down some mountains, on regular roads on a 37 mile closed course. The speeds are insane ( close to 200 MPH on the straights) and many have been killed there over the years. The site said close to 180 have died people since it started in 1907. Imagine flying at high speed just a few feet away from lamp posts, buildings, brick walls, trees and stuff!

From the web site:
The Isle of Man (A small island off of England) TT Races will celebrate its centenary in 2007. The long running, high speed event attracts 40,000 people and 12,000 motorcycles to the small Isle of Man each year. The attraction is not just the amazing high speed motorcycle racing on a 37 mile course of closed roads. It is also the massive social festival with entertainment, club meets and large programme of activities.
