| Ian Huntly's TT
Visit

Ian Huntly will not be able to see the TT this year
along with everyone else. The only difference from most people is that it will
be the first time in fifty-three years; the knowledgeable TT addict will have
had to do it.
We spoke to Ian shortly after the decision had been
made to get his thoughts.
My initial feeling is of numbness
actually. I more or less expected it but had that hope still burning. I won't
know what to do with myself in June.
I am thinking that I will give it a
miss because I visit for the TT and to come over for just the sideshows will
not be the same at all. I feel sorry for all the riders who have invested hard
earned cash in their TT attempt. They will get no real compensation, will
they?
The Island has done the right thing of course but the decision has
left no room for us to move. If I cancel, I am told I will be penalised on my
boat ticket refund yet the event is cancelled, we haven't pulled out.
Tonight I am sitting here very sad that after fifty-three years of
visits, I won't witness a TT this year.
See you all in 2002. I'll be
back. It has been a strange evening when e-mails have flown all over the world
to, and from me. It has shown me just how many people have been concerned about
the TT.
Let us dedicate this year, not to the TT put off because of the
risk of foot and mouth, but a TT put on hold as a real dedication to Yermaun,
Joey Dunlop.
