That's just the first 2 pages ......do you want the other 4??

 

Yes please!

 

Yes please!

John are you going to the TT this year?

 

I'll scan that in for you including the photos

No mate, it's become a circus over there, Guy Martin has been a double edged sword, there's now so many media "personalities" and corporate exploitation that it's not even what it was 3 years ago

If you've never been then you'll enjoy it, I'm going to the Ulster GP and Tradagee 100, Assen also looks attractive before this feking Brexit kicks in, maybe Jerz if I can fit it in

The IOM is very expensive and every last drop of cash is squeezed out of you, it cost me more to ride my own bike to the ferry and stay for 10 days in a B and B with my grandson than it cost me to fly out to California, rent a motorcycle, ride around staying in hotels and dining well for 3 weeks

 

Commercialization of the TT. Oh well.

Thanks John.

 

Far better to go over to Ireland and watch the racing there. Where else can you go to a GP and stand within 6 feet of the riders and have the craic with them as they sit on their machines. Oh yeah and not have to pay to watch them racing.

 

That's the other thing about the TT .... there's been spectators killed for the past couple of years, I was at Brands when Tommy Bridewell came off, bike hit the 4ft high air cushion then bounced over that and over the wire barriers and landed next to a marshal

The next BSB round there a bike jumped the air cushion again and also the catch fencing, just missing some spectators

The TT is dangerous enough without people hanging their legs out on the banks and standing in the run off areas ....the worst offenders are some of the marshals

With Guy Martin returning the demand for photos is going to put so many stupid people in the wrong place I don't anything to do with it

It's not the TT I knew for so many years, time to walk away and never go back

 

That's why I much prefer going to Ireland.


Ohh and you don't get ripped off like iom

Looks like both Lowes (Moto2 & WSBK) like to slide their bikes on the track!

 

I usually get it from WSBK website but these I got from a friend who posted them on another site.

 

I think he has potential. He had so many crashes last year it was crazy. Though some where not his fault.

 

He made Moto2 interesting. I always used to watch it...until Sam (inevitably) crashed, and then I'd go do something else before MotoGP...

Ciao,

 

Last year Sam had more crashes than any other rider in any MotoGP class. My gut tells me that he won't last in MotoGP. WSBK or back to Moto2 in 2 years. Hope i'm wrong, but I'm not feeling it for him at the MotoGP level. He's the next Scott Redding.
