This Sunday I decided to go with a little POV (Point of View). So, there are two videos and a bonus video.

The first video is a cult classic. In the days before internet videos, it was only available on VHS… and VERY rare. So, if you were lucky enough to know someone that knew someone else that had a friend who’s cousin’s boyfriend had a copy… you might get to see it.

The soundtrack was later dubbed in from a Ferrari 275GTB… and oh what sound. Through independent verification by analyzing the sites, it is verified that the car reached 136mph. Keep in mind that the director was unable to get a permit and the roads were open. He was also arrested when the film was shown. The driver has never been identified. Claude Lelouch – C`était un Rendezvous (1976)This video is 8:39.
The next clip is a POV from one of the most insane motorcycle races in the world.

The Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT)

The IOMTT is a timed event. While there is passing, the bikes are released at intervals and run the course. This video is a lap. It spans 18:46, and includes pulling out of the pit area. The single lap record is 17:22, and that is an average speed of just over 130mph. If you have ever thought of taking a full on racing motorcycle and run through average roads… you are going to like this. This isn’t an antiseptic course with run-off areas and soft barriers. And the sound…

The bonus is a view of a 130mph lap from aerial and location cameras around the course. It runs just over 7 minutes. What I find amazing is to see the front wheel wobble under braking or after the jumps. It truly would scare the poop out of me. But it is amazing to watch.
