Yet another piece from the NY Times, this one about the last genuine motorcycle road racing - on the Isle of Man
Written by the estimable John Burns for a reader who is not motorcycle-savvy, this piece talks about the Isle of Man as a community and a unique venue for racing. If you've heard about the island and the TT and you're curious about them, this piece will either satisfy your curiosity or send you scurrying to Google to learn more.

I'm glad, I suppose, that this race has persevered, although at a considerable price in lives lost. Another great, albeit auto race that was cancelled due to safety concerns was the Targa Florio in Sicily; I read a few stories about that one in my Porsche-driving days.
