Max Power 6,401 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I wouldn't wish a broken leg on him or anyone but I think he was going to struggle on that new Honda this year. Hope he gets well soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shake me up Judy 5,162 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Let's hope he's here even if he can't get his leg over. TT (oops) wouldn't be the same without John. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
notwell 5,721 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Shame. "Lancashire rider Malachi Mitchell-Thomas became the 17th rider to die in the history of the high-speed event when he was killed in a Supertwins race at last year's meeting." I don't understand why that statement is in the report. It has nothing to do with the accident. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I watched the Cookstown 100 coverage on BBC NI the other night....the quote was, "I'm here to ride, not race". He only rode the 600 too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Motorcycles alone are not dangerous or "nasty".
