There are several policies which will cover you, the ACU policy can also be upgraded. The ACU Benevolent fund and TT Rider’s Association also help with immediate costs and hardship. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do they pick up the pieces of a broken family where the wife needs counselling, they can't afford to pay their mortgage etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a really nice bloke. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be funding social programmes that do that for all untimely deaths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedupwithiom Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I agree it is their blood but it is a selfish sport. How may people prob g along with it cos what they loved to do - I signed up for this ? When reality strikes how many widows forgotten about the next year? Kids without their fathers? Unless they were at height of careers and earning big bucks isn’t it just a selfish hobby? It’s now basically a blood sport and we are so desensitised cos it’s so good for the Island. We need to change this now. Still have festival but somehow reduce the blood count. It only matter of time till major incident with spectators then gone for good anyway. End of just a needless waste of life 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So desperate to disparage the TT and any of its supporters that you'll cling to any deranged narrative. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedupwithiom Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Would love to see how many of the forgotten widows are coping years after when husbands have been forgotten by “the TT community” and possibly struggling financially and Dad The Hero hanging on the wall. Sorry if sounds harsh but deaths are like chip paper so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
