Is there some big biking event on over in the UK this weekend? There has been nothing but bike programs on ITV all week. Tonight they're showing Bike Fever at 23:25, Bike Week - North West 90's at 24:00, and Bike Week - McCallen at 00:35.

So what's happening in the bike world this weekend then, and is it something to look forward to considering the big build up?

I was watching it on Saturday night and they showed two entire laps of the Isle of Man TT course from onbike camera's.One lap on a 600 and one lap on a 750.To say the least it was spectacular and the amount of concentration it requires must be unreal.Those guys have got balls of steel.

There's a video with one lap onboard with Joey Dunlop on the Honda 1000, and JD comments through the lap. At one point you can hear a nasty sound as he gets close to a wall. "Jast da elmet touchin da wall" mutters JD (sorry, dunno how to write the way he talks ;) ) at about 100mph! These dudes have balls the size of oranges :D
