Wayne Gardner demands immediate TT ban

[Otis243]

This quote from the legend Gardener sums it up in my view ...

... I have met him on a number of occasions and he is to me, ...

I met Joey Dunlop once... Now he was a real legend !

Now show him the Gimp suit.

If he pays for dinner I might.

Joint statement from John Hepburn and Shaun Harris

Fuck we must be LOOSERS

Robert Holden used to say, “ If you are going to have fun, make sure you do”

Many of us have chosen the path to the Isle on Man, for different reasons, it has been for all us, about the challenge involved in racing in such an environment, it was started when men were men, and Sheep were afraid, and some of us in life, enjoy the pleasure from task involved in racing there.
Unless you have actually raced there, you have NO idea of what is involved in the challenge of competing there.

So the TT has a history of Death involved, so do many things in life, i.e., driving your dam car down the road

Do a search on the Statistics involving DEATHS from people going land based FISHING in New Zealand????? Now should we also Ban this????
Statistics and reality are shocking shit folks.

I know the path is bent that we ride on, but as an individual, do I/WE not have the write to do with our lives what we choose to, with the support of our family and friends? Excuse US for coming across a little strong on this point, but for any one out there in the computer world to tell me I should not race there, Fuck off, and get your own life. We pay all our own Insurance costs, so any accidents have NO come back on the local economy, so we are of NO bother to any one of you out there.

I personally need nothing apart from a little more time, to go back and race there again, and I am doing this with the support of my Wife Fiona, who will be there with me, as she Knows who and what here man is, and what is important to me as her man.

ON Behalf of John Hepburn who cannot be bothered posting in this, as he is way to angry at a lot of the stuff people have typed in this Thread with No knowledge or thought about the subject really, nor any consideration to the family members that may be reading all they can still about there man and the environment we are talking about

We all do the crime Knowing what the time can be!!!!!

So sit down and shut up please

Thank you Shaun and John. Now that a number of riders who have raced there and understand the risks, challenges, highs and lows of a such an event, riders who have paid their own way there, with the support and understanding of their friends, family and other loved ones, can we now understand that if these people choose to do this that it is their decision, which doesn't affect any of us in any way.

Forget the argument that the sport damages the reputation of motorcycling. There are far greater battles for you to fight, starting right outside your own driveway. Forget about a sanctioned race that happens once a year half way around the world. Let those that choose to compete compete.

Who the hell is John Hepburn? Not that fmous truck driver is it?

Seriously though, the naysayers aren't saying you guys shouldn't race there, they're saying the whole event should be closed. The lines have just got a little blurred somewhere is all and there is a very real difference.

That being said, I don't agree with either sentiment and long may the IoM TT continue.

I can't see any further contributions other than what's already been said so perhaps this whole thread needs to be closed?

[Matt Bleck]

Can I add one more thing Shaun, is it correct that you will not ride on public roads?

This say's it all to me, Shaun feels SAFER racing the IOM TT than riding on the road with Joe Public!

Who the hell is John Hepburn?

John Hepburn is from Timaru, he was the first man to complete Six IOMTTs in one week, scoring bronze replicas in all six. Silver replicas are awarded to riders who finish within 5% of the winners time, Bronze to those who finish within 10% of the winners time.
yeah he did race trucks too, think he got his training for that after racing a Hayabusa!

Thanks Spyda, I was actually being facetious lol. I know full well who Mr Hepburn is having watched him race many many times.

[javawocky]

In other news, I suppose the IOM is similar to the running of the bulls in Spain every year. Probably equally insane, but the fatality rate seams lower... http://www.nzherald.co.nz/travel/new...ectid=10657306

I think the real lunacy of the event is that they allow a free-for-all Mad Sunday.

If the true extent of that part of the event became widespread public knowledge the whole thing would probably be shut down in a heartbeat.

What's ironic, is technically, Mad Sunday is safer than non TT week due to the fact that traffic travels only one way. Some sections of the road actually have no speed limit on any weekday and traffic can travel both ways.

Which is safer?
