ive got to say i like c iom tt's posts
honest with no attittude
more often you gat the guy haters or the full on hero worship defence mode

any rider that decides to ride or not ride the roads deserves respect for making there own mind up
riders who dont feel happy racing round thye roads shouldnt do it
theres a rider who lives not far from me who i fully expected to go on and be a tt great wasnt happy with the bike he had late 90's and was advised by a tt legend set off get you start money and park it down the road
as he was starting to make a name for himself he wouldnt do that ( so im told)
he came of around a third way round the coarse and suffered injuries that basicly ended his racing
he did make a return to the tt but found he didnt have the strength in his injured limbs to ride hard enough
real shame as he was a rider for the future
