I'm proud to say that the last time I bought this sleazy, downmarket tabloid trash was 1989 when they did a hatchet job on the TT, and I have NEVER bought a copy since. Why would any road race enthusiast want to fork out money to buy such trash when there are numerous websites and other good publications that can give you all the information you could ever want?

Well done to each and every marshal out there on the course - you all do a wonderful job. The marshalling in the aftermath of Rob Frost's crash the other day was exemplary.

The people who are responsible for Motorcycle News are absolute scum, the very lowest form of life. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if they had something to do with the idiot who put a beer can on the course at Creg ny Baa last Saturday. Don't forget that this is the publication that paid one of their writers to ride at 155mph on the racing line on open roads between Sulby and Ramsey last year, with total disregard for the safety of others. Need I say more?
