Well, of course, there have been accidents, and the death of our good friend, Peter.
The Classic Lap is an anomoly, and would perhaps be less of a worry if the participants all stuck to the rules (and the original idea) that they are there to let the crowd see them and their bike, take photos etc. However, a few, (some of them people I respect and value highly) are circulating at racing speeds. I know they are having fun, and the ones I am thinking of are very capable, BUT...if soemthing goes wrong..
And, of course, like so many other things (Robert's amazing comback at the NW200) it makes a total fool of the ACU's so-called safety measure of disallowing the lies of Shaun from racing. What tosh!
