RE: Challenges Facing The TT

On your first point, there used to be far more bikes on the island years ago, and far less of this type of incident used to occur, I think it's the "bucket list" rider's attitudes that have changed the number of unnecessary incidents.
It's been a long time since I was able to come to the Island, and I remember the 2 miles of promenade chock-a-bloc with bikes, don't think I'd like what I'd see nowadays.
As to another post about challenging litterers and pee-ers, well, frequently they are intimidating looking yobbos , and very unlikely to pay much attention to a polite approach from someone civilised. Western Society is going to Hell in a Handcart, in fact it seems that the "tuff guy "manner has become a fashion for many. You only have to go past a gathering of like-minded individuals, whether boy-racers, Hog riders, Subaru owners, you name 'em, to see the geezers standing around looking "well'ard" , arms folded to push the muscles into prominence, designer shades , pirate headscarves , I could go on and on. The awful thing is, that many of these yobs are old enough to know better.
Sorry, overdone the rant as usual
