    reading that article at face value, he's proposing to have a speed
    limit during the racing - which will make it somewhat less
    interesting.

    Given a particularly nasty rumour that 2007 will see the end of racing
    on the mountain circuit, that wouldn't be an issue.

    And whereabouts is this rumour circulating? I can't see it on any of
    the TT sites that I know, nor the IOM news site, and I haven't heard it
    announced on Radio Vannin.

    It's not just you.

    I propose a revolution with ukrm forming a new government. What ukrm
    regulars do we give the heady position of cabinet minister to, and who
    leads the country?

    The last article...TT dates until 2014.

    Should be something amongst that lot that you can trawl through to
    satisfy your curiosity.

  20. It's the onward march of the Safety Cunts, without whom we'd all be
    doing interesting things. I see a future of grey bland porridge where
    we'll all be constricted in what we can do and punished if we step over
    the limits of behaviour.

    Those SCs won't be satisfied until everybody is raised from the cradle
    with a thorough indoctrination about Safety drummed into their skulls.
    And you know the saddest thing about that? The future generations won't
    even know what they're missing.

    Somewhere, though, there will be a Gixxer Thou or R1, carefully stashed
    away in a bunker cunningly concealed under someone's living room. At
    night the ghostly wail of open pipes will be heard across the moorland
    as the Underground take illicit trips on their bikes, dicing with life
    itself; for to be caught openly flouting the Law will lead to early
    termination. Such an anti-Safety activity will be banned and outlawed.
