Yes the rider makes a great deal of difference, but all on the same machinery giving the same result, what rubbish.

Of course the bike makes a lot of difference (although a good Manx is easily capable of lapping as fast as a Paton) - but the front runners have earned their bikes through their talent around the island. Do you not think that if everyone had been on the same machine that Ryan Farquar would not have won that race?

As for the Patons' and MVs ruining the Manx - the bikes at the front have always been superior. No one complained when the trick Manx's were dominating the classic scene (Which they still do on the short circuits).

I seem to remember you stating that everyone is allowed an opinion - 'What rubbish' says to me that everyone is allowed an opinion so long as it is the same as yours.

That IS my opinion that your statement is rubbish

Constructive. I am going to agree to disagree from now on - I can see neither of our opinions are going to change so lets not have an argument.
