Peter is a good boss and a lovely gentleman, if only there were more on the iom, and definitely more would get done.

Not sure if i am with or against the commercial aspect of the T.T. and dont for god sake say you have to move with the times because doing so can sometimes fuck everything up can it not ???I remember camping on a field payed the farmer a few bob job done only the boat cost me a fortune !! These days its becoming a bloody rip off in my
humble opinion and those with money can go those without "true bikers" can not ??? This also means the atmosphere gets lost in the finance like most sport I gues but so so sad for it to happen in the I.O.M. !!!!!!
I am saving like hell for 2023 I just can not afford it this year.. So to all you lucky bastards have a great time
ride safe and ride honestly That means you will come home.. Cheers just cant wait to see it on the T.V. !!!!!!!!!!

Funny how the main question is never asked "HOW MUCH" Go and have a look and then, well then, and then well
then we look for a camp site do we not ??????????? This event is going to die on its feet if this carryies on like this
Cost Cost and more cost this does not include the hyped prices in the towns for food etc sorry to be down beat
but it has to be said !! The avarage chap/woman can simply just not afford to go and we were the ones to put this
on its feet in the first place. You might as well go and watch the F1 cars or Moto G.P. almost cheaper to do so ??
