doofus Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'd be embarrassed if I ran a sporting event at which 11 spectators were hospitalised and all I did was sweep up the debris and send the competitors out. You are a bell end and are possibly one of the reasons this site has gone to shite over the last few years, but I don't think your alone. Sadly!

slinkydevil Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Could be drunken bollocks, but I heard that the front wheel ended up in someone's living room. One of the bottom windows in this house on the corner was borded up when I drove past earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Well to be fair, every time I went out the back for a smoke today, there was either a trans-atlantic jet flying overhead or a helicopter filming the bikes - I don't really expect either to drop through the roof but I guess there's a remote possibility that they could.

doofus Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I think you're (Monkey Boy) reading a little much into a word (embarrassment) that I foolishly used to tenuously tie the point I wished to make (that the race shouldn't have been re-started) to the opening post. Personally, I'm not that bothered about what the rest of the world think about the Island due to the TT. Negative and positive probably balance out, but most of the World aren't that interested in the TT anyway. So when I heard of the crash, naturally, my first thought wasn't embarrassment (after all at that point I didn't know that they'd callously restart the race) but concern. When I heard they'd restarted the race my emotion was incredulity. And this piss poor retraction is a reason I refer to you as a bell end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkydevil Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 How's the bottom of bray hill, ie on a straight bit of road not the outside of a corner a high risk spot? You are joking right? Bray hill is a high speed, down hill left hand bend. Should someone have an accident on that bend they will end up roughly at the end of port e chee avenue. Slim, here is the corner - the high speeds accentuating the bend [i've gone Streetview crazy!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowyballs Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I am really sorry to hear about this, hope everyone gets well soon. I drove past there the other day and when I seen that scaffold I thought who is the halfwit to put that there ? if you follow the racing line and camber it all goes towards that area? You would have to be mad to even think of standing there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Getting out of bed in the morning is unsafe, if you want to wrap yourself up in cotton wool, good luck to you. I don't. But I do wonder if those watching the race are aware of the risk and are making the judgement call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I guess what we'll probably see a lot more of next year is these... It is (motorsport in general, not just the TT) dangerous, it always has been and probably always will be but hey, that's why we (motorsport fans) love it and wouldn't want it any other way I guess. From a following the race point of view, you're better off listening to the radio or watching it online / on the television but from an atmospheric point of view, you can't bet being trackside.

Slim Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I guess what we'll probably see a lot more of next year is these... My point though is that the course is open to all. It's possible to disclaim risk towards adults who should know better, but any nipper can wander up to the trackside and watch this race. Posters who know more about the TT than me say you've got to stand behind walls and be ready to run to be safe. These two things don't seem to go well together.
