The_Godfather Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 TT has been on for 100 years, riders and spectators know the dangers by now. All that they seem to do is add more restrictions of places to watch or add another speed limit. Soon when roads are open the entire course will end up a 30 and you will only be able to watch the TT from a helicopter!! TT is the only surviving part of our Island and more restrictions will only annoy the visitors and piss off the locals Leave it how it is... it's been chopped and changed too much....

VinnieK Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I hope they replace the bikes with rollerblades and funny costumes. It'd be immeasurably better and more interesting to watch. Some kind of custard pie duel would go down a treat as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always go back to the UK no-one is making you stay here a) I'm already in the UK; b) But I am Manx; c) and I still don't like the TT, and, besides, it was just a merry little jape. Now to put it all in the transcombobulatory reply generator: a+b+c = suck my lovely big balls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3v0 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I wonder if they are going to do some different stuff down on the prom rather than the same shows that have been on the last 3 years! I can't wait for TT it makes such a difference to the place, it will be a shame when "they" eventually manage to kill it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Login Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Leave it how it is... it's been chopped and changed too much.... OK I am not a supporter of the TT but if those who are in favour of the TT want to see no changes then it will surely wither and die. I get the feeling if we had the internet X years ago the same people would have been arguing against the roads being closed for the raises, the ten second rather than the mass starts etc etc. In my view it has to change with the times or it will become a greater anachronism and that will put more preesure on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesultanofsheight Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I wonder if they are going to do some different stuff down on the prom rather than the same shows that have been on the last 3 years! Only the last three years? Typical promenade entertainment for the last 10 years: 1. Walk down the prom avoiding the shoddy rides set up by dodgy itinerant gipo kiddy fiddlers 2. A few pints at Bushy's 3. The rocket powered quad bike 4. Russ Swift 5. Steve Colley 6. Bus home The tourist board needs a long hard pat on the back for all the effort they put in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to Chester Street after 8pm any night of the week you get the same show ... only from a chav in a 15 year old vauxhall astra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
