TT Looking Forward..
Hi All having managed to gain entry in TT 07 after all lot of Lows and Highs.
I was just so pleased to be out there trying my best to prove i could do it
All be it after starting late in the day. Ok TT 07 ended on a very sad note indeed. But as it states in all Motorsports Programmes weather it be Cars or Bikes you are there at your own Risk. It is unacceptable that spectators get injured or even killed but life goes on one way or the other.

I dont think events at the 26th will be the end of the TT Races, but i can imagine the powers that be the FIM and the ACU will think long and hard about the future of Superbikes on the Roads Steve Hislop once said the Engines where outgrowing the Chassies and its gone well beyond that now.
Of course Health and Safety will have there say and it might have a bearing on what happens next.

This is my own personal View. With speeds reaching very nearly 200mph top speed and lap averages for the fast Guys reaching 128mph + on a Superbike and 122mph to 125 mph on a Supersports Model the time has come to look long and hard at what the future holds. We dont want our sport to be banned. I think Road Racing should be Restricted to Supersport 600 and i believe this is coming our way if the FIM have anything to do with it. But lets hope the TT continues for the foreseable future.

I agree with NJ they need to look at the classes if the future is to be good the way it stands these days you cant tell the difference between the Bikes if it wasnt for the Colour of the Front No Board you wouldnt be able to tell the difference. I spoke with a number of Riders at the TT this year and they truly believe that Newcomers should learn their Craft at the MGP before tackeling the TT proper ok their are exceptons like Plater and Co.
But if these Guys really want to have a go let them start at the Manx like 90% of us did. It could be best Newcomer to the meeting like they do at the Southern 100.

They should have a class in the TT where you can run machines that are not raced at World level this would add something different Modern Singles Twins and Triples of 650cc or over are very capable of lapping the course at over 105mph in the right hands and some have lapped in excess of 118mph this year like the 675 Triumph and the 749 Ducati i think a modern 650 Suzuki or Hoysung could lap the TT course with a little tweaking at over 110 mph depending on the rider of course i have wrote to PP on the matter and he,s been very constructive with his answers he is hopeing to announce the classes for next year by the middle of MGP week all being well.

Well thats enough BS from me for now hope all is well with you all this is the bussiest season ive had in years roll on MGP as im in the 250 classic
All the best one and All Irish Ago......
