Roll on manx gp, much more relaxed. I can enjoy the riding, the racing, the bikes and the atmosphere.

I've been coming since 1981 but I probably won't be going to TT any more. I have a lot of friends here now but because of the new scheme I don't have time to meet them. The ruthlessness of the TT organizers is also destroying many other events. The clubs invest a lot of time and effort in preparing their events and then nobody comes because the roads are closed. There were hardly any people at the Ramsey sprint on Thursday and at the Moddey Dhoo bike show I probably only won one prize with my BMW Boxercup because there were so few bikes there.


Next year I will probably go to the North West 200 and from there to the Isle of Man. I will then return home before the TT starts.
