Road
I think we still have a rider or two on the board, so this will certainly be familiar. For non-riders, it may still be pretty interesting. It’s a documentary about road racing. Far & away the most famous is Isle Of Man, but there are a couple of others. Road racing in the motorcycle world is similar to the same type of racing in automobiles.
It’s arguably more dangerous however. As a lifelong rider having spent many hours on proper tracks - motorcycle road racing seems like insanity to me. I can’t for the life of me figure out the attraction. It’s super interesting to watch, but seems like suicide to participate.
When I ride public roads, I’m always a bit more tense because it isn’t a groomed & closed facility. These riders go out specifically looking to race in those less-than-perfect environments. They come shockingly close to things I go to great length to avoid; fences, walls, trees, buildings, etc. Crazy to see some of the speed wobbles they get compared to a manicured track.
This documentary is about a family of racers very well known in the motorcycle world. It covers two generations and all their successes and tragedies. Here are a few videos (unrelated to the film) showing some road racing.
