But we have seen a huge increase in these vanity laps, and no doubt a big increase in revenue for the government. What used to happen between races? We’ve always had parade laps of classic bikes between races. It gives the crowds something to look at whilst the riders are having a break.

HiVibes Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 BMW must be gutted they could not celebrate the milestone '85th year' of something or other, though the only reason for celebrating 85 is you know they won't see it out to 90 surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well ahead of its time, still waiting for manufacturers and markets to catch up which doesn't seem to be happening any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tourism, evolution in machinery, increasing speeds and safety are the main drivers of the evolution now as they pretty much always have been.

I don’t know what happened to that, it was to celebrate 85yrs since Georg Meier won the Senior on a BMW at over 90mph. Lots of “Roman salutes” on the podium that day apparently, although the photos are kept under lock and key these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really so the TT has the lowest carbon footprint of any equivalent event, I think you are making that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
