DCLUCIE, you might just be right if the DTL can't get their **** into gear then there is nothing to stop an independent organisation getting something moving. People have been disturbed by the inaction from the Govt. for years so perhaps a private venture may be the way to go.
The Sprints day at Ramsey was great the year I was there, plenty of static displays of old bikes even at that time. Importantly there were thousands of people in attendance. In between TT races there are thousands of people on the Island with b**** all to do. Tap into it guys!
