I agree Cargo, I don't want to hijack the thread -I guess I am very concerned that bitchiness (plus all the who's the fastest chick nonsense) puts extra pressure on riders to go out and prove folk right or wrong, which in turn leads to accidents. Everyone who is out racing on the roads is a star and deserves loads of respect. They get mine anyway. Have a safe weekend racing everyone, have fun - I have just had an idea that may get me out at Tandragee after all ....
(oh, yes Helen - you are right about my profession)
