It's a simple situation. Whether you agree with the course licence or not, at this point in time you need one if you want to ride. If you don't get one you don't ride.

To be honest I think either way the ACU get what they want - more money out of our pockets if we ride or classic bikes out of the Manx if we don't, and probably the end of the Manx.

I don't think applying for a course licence disqualifies anyone from opposing it, and I do think the MMCC if they have our interests, and the interests of the races, as much as heart as they say, need to look at pulling them totally away from ACU mismanagement.
