Please do not alter what I say. Quote my post where I was factually wrong. That's fine and that's a perfectly understandable reason. You have my sympathy. You hadn't mentioned it before though.

But you didn't say that. I could have said that 27 riders died in 2005 and I would have been right. The fact remains that we were in the middle of a lengthy discussion about the TT and 24 of them didn't die during the TT. Naming them won't change that.

As I said you have my sympathies with that. And I agree it's six too many. People do die untimely deaths though. Your opinion is bound to be most influenced by ones you have seen, but it doesn't make other lives any less valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. If all that personal injury and death is worth £39M to Rob who fronts it all who am I to argue? It’s tremendous value watching people be killed almost every year so we can fill cheap hotels and campsites, and sell some great TT merchandise! Let’s not forget all that IOMG overtime too!

Anyhow, we can do nothing about this defence spend. Fact. Take it up with Quayle and the crew if you're so inclined and concerned. Enough local opposition to the event might just see it off. Does this get under your skin..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're getting far too hung up about that one detail ( not suggesting anybody's life is a detail) . There is so much misinformation about the TT it's easy to go on the defensive a bit too much which I accept is what I have done with that post. I think you are a genuine fella with genuine reasons for your point of view which you have been open about. I've got to respect that without necessarily agreeing with you.

We all know what you’re doing is thread bumping until Rob Callister’s clumsy TT comments get forgotten under the weight of your persistent page after page pointless arguing. I’ll re-post them at regular intervals to hopefully refesh the references making your last 5 pages pretty futile effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
