But who am I to say :roll:

Spot on fella, I wish the ACU had the same clarity of vision, but then maybe they have other ends in mind than actually doing this in the name of safety.

I cannot speak for the British ACU, but I would see this as a very good move if they were going to give it the appropriate lead in time ie 2007 and the money that was being generated by this new license introduction was going to pay for a EX Top rider to be the riders Representitive for the TT and the Manx to intelligently inform the racing commitee how to make the course safer as a race track.

No disrepect to any body currently working with the arrangements for these courses ( Especially the manx as I have never done it So no nothing about it) but apart from our own Two very hard workers out there, who really know's what it is like out there from a riders point of view??

I only hope the ACU has the time and the wisdom to take a step backwards to take a giant leep forward in safety and public relations.

I believe the horse has bolted here a wee bit, and it is very very hard to stop a horse at full speed, but am sure there are some people out there write now running around with there lassoo's :idea:
