Before anyone jumps down my throat, i am not defending the organisers:

but i presume its not Paul himself (i would not like to think so as there will be a lot of mainland and foreign riders out there that would behind him), its the stupid FIM 5 year Bike Rule that is keeping him from riding.

I think it was more to do with his set up and apperance.

Listed in the programme, and calling for him at sign on today .

Why will the Managment not respond to any of your questions they all seem to be reasonable question,Also how much it it taking to bring Foggy over. What i would love to know is the total bill for all the Hire cars and vans i have only ever seen two or three on race days at the TT

I see Paul was out on the 600.

[metallica]

He is indeed out on the 600 from what I hear Paul and MW had more than a few words.

Good Question there. The simple answer is that they think they are a law unto themselves and are answerable to no-one not even the mcui (uc).

They make the rules up as they go along regardless of what others think, all you have to do is attend an uc meeting where they railroad things through uncontested

With regards to those who do not wish to race in changing conditions surely the riders who want to race and have PAID an entry fee should insist that the race goes ahead - payment of an entry fee forms a contract between the rider[s] and the club. This way the true roadracers will get an oportunity for the big prize fund.

Prior to this BSB affiliation there used to be two big capacity races where the money was spread down the finishers and I know of one rider, and he may well be spectating today, his hair has lost its original ginger colour and is now on the needing 'Just for men\Grecian 2000 treatment, who made sure his machine survived the first race and he would be in the money in the second race after so many of the fancied machines had blown-up giving it all in the first race, his famous skid line on Sulby straight remained on the road for a couple of years, testimony to his skill and strength.

I love to see the local lads get a fair share of the prize fund it costs a lot of them money in time-off work,paying entry fees, purchasing tyres and race fuel.

Just remembeer that Ireland is the TRUE road racing capital of the woerld and it was put there mainly by the efforts of local roadracers.
