TT passengers

[nick crowe]

Whos without passengers at TT this year??

[jay79]

I know Kev Thornton is still looking for 1. I have his contact details if anyone can help him.

[john newton]

Mark Saunders is the other one as far as I know - Lisa (on here) is the contact.

Thanks for replying for us John, we was over on the Isle for the weekend and have just got back.

Yes we are still looking for a passenger and will be in the paddock Wednesday pm

hope kev thornton gets sorted,be a big shame for him to miss his 1st tt

here,here kev,
Kev's a real nice guy,seems a real shame that after all these years riding(must be well over 10 now !!! )that this man cant get a passenger for this event,!!!!!
yet again this is were the system brakes down

hope kev thornton gets sorted,be a big shame for him to miss his 1st tt

I think it's time we had a passenger database, list all passengers, their licence and what they are available for, would save drivers a lot of time looking for a passenger.

It's Marks first TT too and I know if Kev has put as much prep in to it as Mark has, it an absolute kick in the teeth to be searching for a passenger now and still having to go over just incase a passenger becomes available.

aaahhh well there's always Ramsey sprint

[bruce moore]

totally agree with you Lisa,unfortunatly this is the crap system that sociaty has produced,this litigation sociaty has ruined the TT,unfortunatly some regular passengers do not want to ride the TT,total respect for those that say no,
gone are the days when you could go over and watch,then phone the ACU (from the Island ) and get a licence to ride like the old Days,im sure there are loads of passengers like myself with yrs of experience at the TT who would love to jump on for the TT but dont want to race all yr to qualify.
hope you both get sorted,
regards

i dont think its a bad thing bruce , time, health and safety ect life moves on !!! , no disrespect to mark but as its his first time as a driver there , going to the greatest road race in the world i dont think he will get a passenger .......... , when you go for the first time you want to be with your best mate who has passengerd with you since day one and you both have come up thro club racing over the last two or three years , or it will end in tears !!!!
sorry , its just my thorts

and ha passenger data base !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
love that idea

[bruce moore]

winnie your dead right mate time moves on,shame it was fine for nearly 100yrs!!!!,
have fun buddy,be safe

[matthewsayle]

awaiting moutain course license tomorrow morning from the ACU. I will be sitting in for Mark, I aint the worlds greatest passenger but its the TT FFS everyone. I think people are mad who dont jump at the chance to ride the greatest course in the world but wank over mallory every wednesday.

Good on yer Matthew, we'll imbibe one or two after the race on Wednesday.

[jay79]

well said Matthew. Im glad mark will be ok this year. I can't belive there is a shortage of passengers for the TT, I can't wait to get enough rounds done so I can blast down bray with roads closed. Just sorry it can't be this year after all the prep and money Kev has put into it. But at least it gives me plent of time to put the homework in Have a safe 1 mate

Kev Thornton is a good safe driver who is not going to anything daft he simply needs a passenger experienced or otherwise to help him complete his learning year.

Good luck in your search for a willing replacement.
