Not wishing to condone bad riding, but this is nothing new. People have been riding like tw*ts for years at the TT on open roads, most of them get away with it but some don't. Every year.

I think we are all getting a teeny bit brainwashed about the safety culture that is permeating our society. It's already colouring how the races are run and putting restrictions on what we can do on track, it's responsible for the rash of speed cameras that blight our roads and if we let it, it'll gradually legislate us off the road and put our racing behind foam-lined short circuits.

The guys doing those moves aren't going to live forever, but then who is?
