It's full of grumpy pensioners, bumpkins from bad blood lines and Scousers on the run. They're not a normal lot. as "normal" as anywhere else mate huge mix of people over here and a better community spirit than UK and we don't have Boris in charge 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pap Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 5 hours ago, The White Cockade said: Yeah it’s the question a lot of people ask The IOM is a pretty quiet place with little in the line of entertainment and not great weather The usually miserable winter lasts from about October to April and there’s not a lot to do Suddenly end of May there is 40,000 visitors, pubs and restaurants are heaving there are beer tents and events, Red Arrows displays and concerts This week we have had Madness, Nile Rogers, Becky Hill , the Darkness and a load of others The whole place is busy and buzzing The atmosphere is incredible Even those who aren’t into the racing are out and about every night And of course there is the racing which is amazing and scary and doesn’t happen anywhere else The whole thing has to be seen to be believed It’s like a different planet to normal and it’s depressing when it’s over for another year but obviously the downside is also massive Five racers dead this week The argument has always been that they know the risks and they die doing what they love and that’s true but it must be hell for their friends and family When a red flag is announced they thousands watching just go quiet It’s a horrible feeling There has always been a minority who want it stopped and maybe that minority are growing over time I live the TT and have marshalled for over 20 years but finding it harder to deal with the deaths and injuries as I get older It is a live/hate thing I really don’t know how long it will continue It’s unique. mind blowing and tragic at times There is nothing else like it that’s for sure Fair play mate.

It may have been a simpler case of confused identity (similar leathers, how they were found on/near the bike etc) but the police and Procurator Fiscal in Scotland wouldn't announce a deceased name without DNA positive ID if there were severe injuries and a visual ID couldn't be done. Sounds like the organisers maybe announced it based on lesser evidence and it has only just come to light. I'd expect a review of procedures to follow... Need released now that the two sidecar guys had swapped dog tags which was all they had to identify them Seemingly it was a tradition with them to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
