Well I wonder is it Malcolm's influence ?? but when ever I said anything against the future of the TT on another site I was shot down , if I mentioned Safety I was shot down and told , you are a marshal just get on with it ?
if I am allowed to make comment ,RTA's have always happened and we have good and bad years for it as I remember it

the difficulty in getting enough practicing in, is that just like racing these days, if the conditions are not perfect it is not safe to go at all a problem that the modern bikes now have because of the shear power and the fragility of the tyres used , begging the question are the top superbikes becoming too fast for the roads let's face it they are not designed for the roads, they are designed primarily to win at short circuits where they can be ridden to their limits in relative safety

as for the spectator element yes we have had the od incident over the years but sadly nothing like it is becoming by the look of this week ( I hear that the police are asking for any one that saw or has any information on yet another incident of some one walking on to the track in front of one of the lead riders on the second lap of the SS race this evening at Bray Hill ) , a victim of it' own success some one said !! well yes I suppose we have to accept that to be the case , what can we do about it ?? I dont know I fear it is too late ,

I used to think why on earth do they want to sell off the running and the rights to the TT off to some outside entity , well I now wonder is it because they fear that one day the brown stuff is going to hit the fan big time and they don't want to be held responsible and by selling it off they will have someone to take the blame ?? I wonder

well for me it was my last outing for the Orange army and sadly looks like being my last at the TT not I hasten to ad because of my worries , I have personal reasons , and the ability to do it in less than three and a half weeks at an affordable price puts the final nail in the coffin , I will be returning to the Island for the Southern 100 and spending some time as a visitor enjoying the Island that we love seeing our Manx friends that we have made over the years
