I'm sure I've told this story before, but I watched one of the advanced screenings of Closer To The Edge, in a cinema full of non-bike people and the gasp of sheer, disbelieving, terror as the onboard swept off down Bray hill at the start was electric. You could smell the adrenaline.
I can't watch the races live....
Watching the TT is agony. Doesn't compare to anything else. The opening scene of Saving Private Ryan is tense, but the TT is worse.
