You cant blame Honda
Plenty of talk about no official Honda team at next years TT, but can you blame them when the cost of competing at this years TT was a great deal more than their total budget for BSB this year.

We are talking about Honda they aren't actually down to their last penny, but have to make cutbacks I suppose. What with Moto gp, WSB/ WSS plus their car racing activities their annual budget will run into muti millions.

They must have their reasons for not having an offcial team, athough Hydrex with Guy on baord will be a formidable combination, that maiden win definately on the cards.
Motor cycling, mountain climbing and bull fighting are the only true sports. All the rest are childrens games played by adults.

Could you explain that Shaun. I don't understand why they are not going to be at the TT in 08 but to me they seem to have put a lot of effort and money in to the event in the past, is it I just don't see something others do? I'm not saying your wrong I would just like to understand what makes you say they milk it as I do understand you see it from a different point than I do as a mere spectator. :roll:

Just a thought:

All this Honda-not-appearing hype could have been cunningly set up by the Honda marketing people. Everybody is talking about Honda now, to the exclusion of all other brands, and "any publicity is good publicity".

The great man will still be smiling.....................
