As you say Harvey did try and get ideas and thoughts from the riders, but nothing came from it, as far as we know, perhaps the Forgotten Era class and over 500cc Classic came from the survey.
I was told from my first MGP that the MMCC are a law unto themselves and I think this is very true, as you say they should see Dave Edwards and his team at Aintree and the Wirral 100 and a few of these clubs.
Unless you are part of the set-up, you don't know what is going on, until it is too late!! The MMCC seems a very closed shop, I don't expect my entry will get accepted again after saying that!!! They are never wrong, according to them.
I might not ride in the MGP again but I want to see it continue, so that I can watch other people get the pleasure from it, as I did and to see all types of classic machines competing.

Hi Norstar, i think you hit the nail on the head when you say that you might not get an entry if you speak out. I thought the riders reps were supposed to help with this type of thing, somebody you could speak to. Did you see them this year? Where as the ambassadors worked tirelessly to help things run this year. I know a few of the ambassadors feel as though they are not been listened to. Alot of people feel strongly about trying to keep the manx going, but surely the committee must realise that even the riders have limits of endurance.
