Being an 'ol bu**er', for me the total lack of and recognition of TT history at TT2008 was disappointing. No Parade Lap meant a lot of the 'old timers' not making the trip over. Attendance at the 38th Milestone, headquarters of the TT/Manx Riders Association was very sparse all fortnight.
We certainly need the young guns but the TT heritage should not be overlooked. It makes the creation of a TT museum seem even more remote.
The sheer greed of certain hostelries - one in particular - as noted in our pages was sad - I hope TT fans don't get the impression that we are all involved in 'rip off Island'
I hope the Chief Constable/Marshal keeps to his promise to review the restricted areas.
Roll on the Manx - a more complete race meeting, this is more like a two-wheel biking festival - but bring your thermals!
Any chance of a Early Morning Practice Bus for the Manx?
The Clerk of the Weather got it about spot on, glad you lot didn't take it away with you!
