Maybe you should and while you at it try and make the connection. Was that the police man in 1976 or has there been another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then when it is people who have volunteered to expose themselves to that risk in return for the buzz they know it will give them it can carry on. So if a bike went into a garden and killed someone who was just out watering their plants - then you'd agree it would be time for it to end?

So you view anyone within one 'block' of the course as collateral damage even if they have no interest in the TT or a desire to be involved with the event?

Hmmmm Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 2 hours ago, Bill1977 said: The BBC documentary will be interesting and if off the back of that sponsors start to pull out then that could be a game changer. Whilst sponsors play a significant part, the ultimate arbiter for the TT will be the insurance companies that facilitate the meeting. If their risk appetite is diminished then the end will swiftly follow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0bserver Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 It's strange. A legitimate exchange of views and options gets some people upset. Then you have the likes of Triggered and Chief Wanksock et al. who just hurl insults and abuse.. but that's absolutely fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of a dog blinded by a piece of exploding bike that had ‘vaulted’ a house. Dave Jeffries crash in Crosby. Would that count? If it had been a child not a dog would it have counted? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
