"all that commericial nonsense has it's place and it's not at the Manx.............it's a national road race which should be for club racers to enjoy for the sheer thrill of it.............not professional high speed mobile billboards selling fizzy drinks and diggers for hire"

Bear in mind that many bikes are pretty close to that already and no rider will refuse a good offer. I'm not being critical of you, I just don't agree with the point above. Bringing money to the Manx is not nonsense, it might be vital to its survival.
