Wayne Gardner demands immediate TT ban

[Mental Trousers]

You are moving a thread because you don't agree with one side of the argument?
I think you've got moderator mixed up with megalomaniac .

I said tempted. I know exactly what megalomania is.

[jonbuoy]

What about the Paris Dakar, Baja 1000, Base Jumping, Cave Diving. Far better for the human race if we all just stay inside with a nice cup of tea.

New Porn movie?

New Porn movie?

It's no backdoor sluts 9.

It seems to be which side & how far to each side of the "PC police" you stand on in relation to this matter.
Bottom line me thinks though is the PC nazis will win in the end........But hopefully it takes a long long time.

Yep they will.
And I will hear people say "When they came for the IOM TT, I said nothing because I didn't care for it......
.....When they came for my friends bike, I said nothing, because it wasn't me.....
.....but when they came for my bike, no one was left to help me."

And I will laugh, ride off and give the finger.

Its not a sport, its a past-time, recreation, a hobby. Sport involves competition, like your touch club.

And what exactly happens on your group rides????? Seriously do you all simple tootle along at 100??
At the end of the day very few people whom ride in groups, on sport bikes do as required by law. Some even race each other.
OH MY GOD!!!!!! Is telling them they should only do it on the track going to fix fuck all?
Its like telling dope growers to smoke herbal tea.
First rule of fight club......

The bubble wrappers are the ones suggesting it should be canned. Sheesh.

Yes they are, and your saying they are right because of the perception of what people do on the road.
Fuck lets ban car parks at the supermarkets then, I mean everyone knows there is devastation there.
Perception is a mother-fucker. But if people wanna ban the IOM on a perception of what they heard on their street there are a million counter arguments against that.

You need to get a grip bro. I'm not saying the public are right, just what they percieve.

On our group rides people do give it a nudge yes, but it ain't a sport.

We are actually in agreement about 'a million counter arguments'. I think you've confused what I've said with what you think I mean.

Yeah sorry about that.
I only took issue with the fact you failed to recognize street riding as a sport. What I think we got confused with was sport, and competition.
Road riding is a not a competition (though does get competitive). But you need to be more than a skinny, slack-jawed, yokel to ride a motorbike well. Regardless of whether you race it or not. Therefore it is more than a recreation, knitting is a recreation.

Hmmm........ Shaun Harris begs to differ :-)

Sweet as - I still don't consider street riding a sport. But the terms are interchangeable according to Oxford.

You've got it the wrong way around.

It's the concern that some people might want to ban what they heard on their street based on their perception of the IOM event.

And for the record, I don't want to see the IOM stopped but the idea that it is possibly harmful to motorcycling as a whole is certainly food for thought.

And sitting there screaming "STFU wankers" won't change that fact.

[Resto lad]

how many motorcyclists are killed from being hit by vehicles with 4 or more wheels
let Wayno ban cars & trucks to protect sport bike owners

[manxkiwi]

People have been saying 'ban the TT' since 1907. It'll never happen. It's stonger now than it's ever been. To ban it you'd have to lobby the Manx government to do it themselves, I doubt they'd listen. Thank God.

You sure?
I notice people are still using the banks that told them just that 2 years ago after losing all their money.
World has changed. People don't really care if you abuse the shit out of them. We are all a bunch of zombies now. I mean think about why hasn't an ACC office been burnt to the ground yet?

I would like to think that being nice to people and trying to fix their perception will have an affect on them.....but seems people don't mind wankers these days. Tolerance levels are higher or something.
However if people have a bee in the bonnet about something they will complain about it.
Its the new (old) ME generation, and unfortunately they are retiring so have the time on their hands to complain about shit that has been around for donkeys years.
I don't see any sub-40's protesting about IOM or Motorbikes or Computer Games or Artificial sweetners or.....

We are all too busy working. So fuck em I say. I'm done trying to reason with them. They want to live in Beigeville because they are no longer young let some investment banker crush their dreams while they crush ours. Karma is a bitch.

Thanks for the compliment dude
