I admit I have known the Pikes Peak only because of Gran Turismo (the amazing videogame for Playstation) and I didnt know they run there even with motorbikes.

Amazing: 20km, asphalt + sand, more than 150 turns and the track is climbing over 1500m. There is no fences, guard rails, whatsoever... just rocks, trees and the sky who could welcome you if you do wrong some turn. :)

In this aspect is similar with the Tourist Trophy: if you do something wrong, you die.

If you're interested in how could it be to running there, take a look at these three videos from an onboard camera on a motorbike. And here an high quality video of a Peugeout Rally car attacking the Pikes Peak.
