Conor Cummins
Motorcycle enthusiasts travel to the Isle of Man from around the world to witness Athletes racing at break neck speeds on country roads.
In 2010 Cummins lost control of his bike at 150 mph, flying off the road and suffering a broken back, dislocated knee and a broken arm. "That was that and this is now, it's all behind me." Cummins said.
