What is your definition of a TT pot hunter??

Presumably Ryan Farquar falls into this category. But what about people like Olie Linsdell? He supports classic racing in the UK and Ireland all the time. He was 500 classic national champion the year before last and regularly competes in events such as Scarborough that desperatley need to be supported by more classic racers. Is he a pot hunter or somebody who genuinely loves racing classic bikes? I think the latter!

What about Roy Richardson, he races at the TT and does bloody well, but he is by no means a professional rider and he has supported the classic races along with his father for a number of years.....

Does anyone remember the first year Ryan came on the Manx and Aermacchi he was competitiive but there was no way he was going to win. Anyway if he was too good to race in the MGP he'd be able to win the Junior Classic on a K4 wouldn't he?

I feel that the "all you guys used to being at the sharp end" comment is probably reffering to me and David. However I feel that I'm good friends with the full spectrum of MGP competitors not just the top 6 and in my experience the TT license, the price, reduced practice and the awfully terrible camping conditions are the primary reasons for the reduction of numbers. Coupled with people retiring and retiring their machines at the same time.
