A fool and his money.....

Personally I have a problem with this Start Money as it is called is essentially brown envelopes for Bray Hill. The desperation to keep the charade going is clear when the paid for competitors are mainly under achieving in every other area of motor bike racing and the IOM is their main meal ticket - Hickman is back of the field in National not World super bike racing- apologists please take a second to think about that - he isn’t very good in the overall sphere of your sport Short circuit superbike racing is not the same sport as road racing, nowhere near. You really are scraping the barrel now, not for the first time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you and Gizo do tend to put your own personal spin on anything which is said in relation to the TT. Answer the question don’t swerve it - how much has the TT Development Fund paid Honda for Nathan Harrison to have this big ticket ride - it’s not difficult to answer honestly and correctly even if it means you criticise the racing albeit inadvertently. I like the rest of you (except the one who lives in Devon) as shareholders in this lads TT ride for Honda should receive a dividend. a: £75k b: £100k c: £????????

I heard it was about the same amount as the queen paid to have Lady Di bumped off, and that America paid to blow up the world trade center and to hire the studios they filmed the moon landings in. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have been asked numerous times for a source to back up what you are claiming and have failed to provide one. You also appear to think that riding at Oulron Park is the same sport as doing the TT.

How on earth would I know whether that even happened? I can't swerve answering something where I couldn't know the answer, other than to say that I'd seriously doubt it! Why would they pay Honda to have a local rider on their bike anyway? It's not as though it would be of much interest to TT visitors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star riders command big sums, I think the rider you are talking about, although he won a TT, wouldn't command £35k? ... Who do you think it was then? The only person I thought might fit the bill was a long-haired, moustachioed medallion man from Lincolnshire*, but I don't think he won a TT. (Plus £35k would be a lot for him.) One of his team-mates form the 80s? *Doesn't narrow it down much! 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lad took part in his racing school. He came back saying the experience of racing and meeting Ron had shown him what he was put on this earth to do.
