Promenade - Megathread

[kevster]

I can’t see why people have a problem with this. 
Just pretend that the circles are coloured in an treat it as a (big) mini roundabout. 
It’s not rocket salad FFS

Slight derail but roads related.

Nice new jump they have put in for the bikes on Sulby Straight.

40mph on a bike and its quite a hump.  Will be interesting at 190mph.

Not DOI I don't think but a contractor but there really should be better controls on the course

No one in Blackpool knows who he is. No one listens to him there. He’s  feeling lonely. He’s no longer constrained by his employment, so he can make more noise.

Remember the inverse relationship between quantity/volume and worth/value however.

To be fair, nobody over here listens to him either.

I listened to him all the time when I was a young fella.

Loved that Firestarter one.

Why? It's just a public highway

There's no racing on it for another year so I'm not sure it matters right now anyway.

Ah that's ok then.  Rather than do it properly when they closed the road last week, we can just close it agin next year and pay twice for a job that could have just been done properly the first time

hang on - they closed the road to fell some trees, no roadworks have taken place.

Got the DOI operating procedure nailed right there.

So when did the big jump in the road outside the new builds going up on the old school site appear?  Wasn’t there last time I went up that way on the bike.

Sure it wasn't.  Just admit you've jumped to conclusions again.  Not the first time either

Jumped to conclusions about what.

There is what looks like a service trench gone in at some point and been really badly filled.  I don’t recall it being there the last time I rode up the road.  The most recent time before yesterday I went up there I was diverted off at the pub and back on at Sulby Bridge.

I said in the original post I doubt it was DOI, but whoever it was it will need fixing before the bikes next go down there at speed

You were jumping to conclusion which you always do.  Stop pretending otherwise.  It's a load of sheight and you know it

Less than a week and the ringy things are already starting to look shoddy.
