I used to do this every year. Mike, Barry, Foggy. Without being defeatist, its a waste of time. Even IF there were enought votes, do you think the Beeb would allow it?

Truth be told,biking and bike sport is a minority "niche" pastime, raising nary a blip on the public conciousness. And it's none the worse for that.Most people I know haven't got a clue where the Isle of Man is....Imagine how crowded it would get, and even more expensive it would be if it actually got fashionable?

I know what you mean, Tonto. we get the fashion followers coming to the Superbike round...wouldn't know a bike from a prada handbag, but its the place to be seen. Imagine them crowding out Bushy's!
I never tell any of them about Ardnamurchan either! They'd probably think it was a malt.

Its horrible finding their half used lipsticks in the bogs when you are trying to squeeze into your leathers, and as for the mess their spikey heels make in the paddock...and that's the men!
