Well said, Mike. I can't be bothered with the idea that its OK for us to go over to the Isle of Man and behave in ways we would not get away with at home.
Some very dear friends of mine went to the Isle of Man for near enough 40 years, until a "biker" rammed his bike under their van at an obscene speed, on a corner, wrong side of the road, killing himself, injuring them and unleashing a torrent of abuse from other "bikers" who blamed the "car driver". They have never been back, and have never recovered from the horror, and from the dreadful way they were treated by the very people they thought they belonged among.
There...that's got that off my chest. Now, about the TT.... can't wait to get there and see real motorcyclists and real racers!See you there, Mike
