If it doesn't agree with your narrow jaundiced view of the world then in your view it is neither fact or truth. Get over yourself Dick! So motor cycle accidents during high performance races do not result in death or serious injury? That is neither a view or opinion, that is a fact, whether it fits your view or opinion.

It's nothing to do with the incident. It is pointless reporting to try and sensationalise someone having a spill and having a suspected broken leg.

Typical TT "uber fan" attempt to censor the truth about the dangers of the event through ad hominem attacks. I certainly wouldn't seek to hide how dangerous road racing is Richard. If JM had had his spill at the same spot MMT was killed I kind of understand the commentary. It's relevant. But this report was about JM's spill. They add in that line about MMT. They might as well list all 17 people that have died there. It's just not relevant to the article. If they want to write about the 17 deaths, no problem with that. Write an article and publish it.

Nobody ever dies from anything else after all. As for your hilarious meme' the post is about the NW200, not the TT, but don't let that get in the way of your pathetic whining.

Maybe (and I can't speak for the motives of the article writer) they included the most recent casualty to illustrate that it is dangerous and how relatively lucky JM was to "walk away" with just the injuries he had.

RIchard Britten Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Just re-read the article linked (after only having scanned it earlier), and unless it has been edited, there is no mention of anyone dying. Maybe this is the article you were thinking of: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-39855523 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxb&b Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Yeah, that is now an updated article. The original definitely referred to the death of MMT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
