What a weekend of triumph and tragedy. That startline accident has had terrible consequences for at least 5 people, and Cam's accident was pretty bad too.
The racing was superb, but we didn't realise all the dramas going on.
I see from other forums that there was even more than the usual drunkenness and people, including a police officer, crossing roads as racing went on around them... and a marshal taking photos as someone lay on the road, during an accidet.
Bloomin' 'eck. I'm glad I'm not poor old Mervyn trying to sort out all that.

AND FIVE CIVILIAN MOTOR CYCLISTS KILLED, INCLUDING TWO SCOTS VISITORS IN AN ACCIDENT AT LIMAVADY, BAD NEWS AND TRAGIC. DID NOT GO MYSELF EVEN THOUGH I LIVE TEN MINUTES AWAY BY THE CAUSEWAY. LIKE A LOT OF THE MANXIES AT TT TIME TIME FOR OLD MEN TO STAY OFF THE ROADS IT CAN BE LIKE DOG FIGHT.

Yes Tom old men like us should avoid this particular race? i am not getting at the organisers but alcahol should not be allowed during racing at any circuit as nowadays peoples standards have dropped, so after racing have a drink and do what you like otherwise there is going to be a serious incident in the not to distant future.
