The question in its title has been definitively answered - it ain’t happening - so perhaps a new thread - TT 2022, will it, won’t it? - should be started instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyJoe Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Looks like the new thread has happened Unless our petrol heads become more enthusiastic towards TT Zero then road racing for bikes is surely soon to end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much to get enthusiastic about, watching washing machines on wheels that can't manage much more than a lap is hardly inspiring. Perhaps the younger generations will take to it as they seem easily pleased by technology with no soul? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have made it a 3 lap race to push the manufacturers to develop that aspect, which is far more useful in the real world than lapping at over 100mph 6 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the younger generations will take to it as they seem easily pleased by technology with no soul? A potential 200mph washing machine wizzing around public roads. Seems inspiring to me. Me dad used to go on about cars losing their soul once they dumped the starting handle. Current bikes have lost their 'soul' anyway. Tappets and squish zones or whatever etc are all handled by a computer. It's all relative. 9 minutes ago, wrighty said: And what they did wrong with TT zero was chase speed rather than endurance.
