Absoluteley, Pykey.
You know it never ceases to amaze me, the arrogance of people who come to the Island for one or at most two weeks, sometimes just the once, to thrash their bikes, trash them sometimes, occasionally kill themselves and innocent others, but demand that the Isle of Man have laws and regulations to suit them!
Sadly, speed limits are just as relevant for residents in the Isle of Man, who, unfortunately, are just as capable of causing deaths due to stupid driving. For such a small area, it has a very poor record. Too many people are killed due to inappropriate speed.
The whole thing is..if people behaved , there would be no need for any of these laws, and, indeed, all that having them does, is to criminalise stupidity, not necessarily stop it...although it might ban some people from driving/riding, and remove the ability to cause such mayhem.
I love speed, but there is a time and a place. That's why I got involved with racing. I usually spend Mad Sunday in the south of the Island, although I have noticed more "unlicenced racers" there too in recent years. It's sad that our hosts, the Manx people, have to keep their kids and cats inside, not just on Mad Sunday, but sometimes for the whiole fortnight, because it's not safe in their particular part of the Isle of Man, due to irresponsible visitors.
If you want to show how good you are at racing, get a licence...if you're not good enough for the track, keep off the road.
