RE: Challenges Facing The TT
I'm the same as many ohers here. My grandfather attended the first TT in 1907 and my dad his first in 1926. My parents brought me over as a baby in 1952. The 1960's and early 70's for example there were far more bikes here than there are today. You couldn't move on Douglas Prom for lines of bikes parked on both sides PLUS on the pavements on both sides.
Apart from the "bucket listers" the other issue as I see it is that it's far too easy these days for someone with a good credit rating to buy a high-performance bike without having to serve the apprenticeship that most of us served before getting something "really fast". TBH I've seen so much cringe-worthy riding by Power Rangers this year that it's not funny. All my 2-wheel conveyances are staying inside the garage until the last of the idiots have been removed from the Rock by the Steam Packet.
I'd love to see things from your perspective but unfortunately ........... I find it impossible to get my head that far up my a$$
