I've got a possible solution to this....move all the Islanders off, demolish houses and walls, cut down trees and make proper run-off areas Why would it make it any less enjoyable? Surely it's not the fact that riders can come off, hit solid objects and die that makes it so popular? It would be the UKs "Phillip Island"
It seems that fans and the organisers aren't doing a lot to make sure this great meeting continues. I get the impression people are just leaving it to fate and hoping nobody will notice  ____________________ Space Is Deep

I'd love to see Guy win a race, and no doubt he's got it in him as a rider, but maybe he needs to be on a Blade or S1000 to do so. |
Maybe he needs to get out of his comfort zone and put together his own team, then he can choose the right machinery.
If you watched his "Speed" series, he spent far too much time being in awe of others, questioning his ability and demonstrating a 'that'll do' attitude; perhaps that was just the editing, but proper winners don't have any of that. |
Maybe he does, but thats a big lot to pull together to compete in 5 races for a new team with no existing infrastructure. Competing as his own team in the supersport or superstock not so difficult, but to get a competitive superbike as well...
The winning teams have been around a long time and/or have significant factory support or works parts.
Maybe if Suzuki put more into the bikes and brought new GSX-Rs out, and I mean new new ones, not the same thing year after year, then they'd be equally competitive or more so. ____________________ Current Bike: 1999 Honda CB600 FX Hornet

Not to anyone else he doesn't. He wants to prove to himself though, perhaps feels he has to prove himself. |
I don't know how about others, but I find the fact, that he takes part in many road racing events and the TT on a 1000cc sports bike, already impressive itself. + not everyone is good at time trial racing.
Those of you that ride, let's say bigger motorcycles, know that it's not that easy to go fast on it everywhere. On closed road course or opened, the tar and bends are the same. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ
