Arthur, I believe you have got it right.
Sad to say, this is not a natural decline but rather a planned abolition.
"We dont want it any more so WE will make it appear to be unpopular"
I do accept that there are increasing obstacles such as cost of insurance, but
these things apply to the racing itself, and we overcome it there.
No, I firmly believe that historical events have been planned out
As for making the Manx the focal point for the Classics, I cant afford to do both
so are you suggesting I stop coming to the TT?
Surely its not unreasonable to expect to see some classic machinery at the TT, if
only on display in the paddock and maybe fired up there?
Helen, your point about todays racer being tomorrows Classic is, of course valid.
However, I truly beleive that we need the cherishing attitude at the TT to make
sure this happens
I cant see Fireblades and R1s making it to Classic status if we dont nurture the
Classic attitude
