That is old footage. I think that record has long been broken. He is just one example from 2006

I think that footage was from the 90's. And i belive you are right that teh record has been broken a few times since then.

Anyway, the Isle of man is one of the last great races/race courses in the world. It's on my list of places to go

Isle of Man, Nurinburgring, Dalton highway, Alpines and Dolomites pass, Cote d'Azur France, Capetown to johannasburg, the Autobahn, Bonneville Salt Flats, and that crazy road in india which was cut off the side of the mountain are all on my hit list of must ride one day roads..

Completed are California Rt 1, Deals Gap, and a few others.
