I agree 100% with 'sticky' and my feelings are well documented

................."the lunatics are taking over the asylum"

There will be far less bikes (and spectators) at the "Centenary" than 25-30 years ago; and the police coped then with Ford Anglias' and push bikes.

The roads are now conciderably busier than back then, so the average speed of general traffic is lower. Why inconvenience the Manx people/residents using the Douglas-Ramsey-Douglas routes ? Unless this is a politically motivated decision, designed to motivate the "Anti TT" brigade.

I pity all the "northerners" trying to get back from Douglas to Laxey, Ramsey, Jurby etc; on the coast road, every evening, for a fortnight. Why didn't they just cone of more of the mountain section ? Especially in the light of the "24/7 blanket police coverage" they are trumpeting.

This will make the TT a very popular event with them. . . . NOT

....and if the worst does happen can you imagine the headlines in the 'red top rags' ?
