What a joke, people get killed racing push bikes, riding horses, mountain climbing ect. ect. don't hear people trying to ban them sports all the time. leave the TT alone!

The comments just about say it all (quote---KNOB )

If they were going to ban it , they should have done that in 1970, when sadly 6 people died, lt is really a shame when some one dies racing, but if they are to enjoy there life they just have to do it, and we should be proud of them for doing just that.Not all of us like gardening,mind you thats not safe ,when you get a thorn in your finger.

PROPPER KNOB

Thats why the sidecar grid was half empty!

Says it all, YOU never actually raced at the TT !

Wayne Gardner aka a James Hunt is obviously a TT course specialist.

The inexperienced riders don't get the big money, the experienced ones do because they CAN remember every corner, every braking point and change in elevation or direction, because they have raced at the TT and not just ridden round it on an early 80's shed.
Poor old Wayne, you have to pity the bloke's mind.

Of course this IS on crash.net, my favourite tabloid website I'm surprised that they got this on so soon it normally takes them a couple of months to find interesting slagging to pinch from other sites.

The mans a complete bafoon-Dont knock it if you've not tried it

Frankly I don't give XXXX for the 'Wollagong Wild One's' thoughts

While we are at it why not therefore ban boxing, mountain climbing, pizza eating competitions, etc. I'm not even acquainted with any of these but I think they ought to be banned because they are dangerous too Why? Because I say so

[steve-e]

Now, for further reference, and to silence any overly voluminous contrarians on any subject that you may be required to respond suitably, the stock answer shall from this moment be "Bob says so"

[Helen Gibson]

I find his remarks distasteful and extremely disrespectful. Paul Dobbs and Martin Loicht were not rejects from short circuits. I think some apologies would be in order from this ill-mannered lout.
