| I'm for and against the TT, I've been once when I first got into biking, and I did think the experience was truly amazing and nothing can compare to it.
Half of me likes the way the TT has stuck to it's old traditions whether that be the times etc in chalk on a blackboard, the way the bikes are refueled etc, the marshalling and the inherent risk the roads bring. But we're talking traditions going back to when bikes were a hell of a lot slower even before the likes of Hailwood and Agostini.
We are in a nanny state yes, but having a machine with 200HP capable of 200mph through the streets without the kind of run offs etc, that would be a standard criteria in any other form of motorsport.
Keep the TT, keep the old school pits/leaderboard but throw some money at the island and make the lap safer by whatever means, airfences, run off's etc |
