Why the IoM police have to keep closing the road over the Mountain
Short video: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=345851435971149
"This video was taken on Friday (today) after the one way section was opened for the first time. It’s from the Veranda on the Mountain section of the Isle of Man TT course, and shows a rider who crashed 7 minutes after the roads were opened and resulted in a road closure. "The rider amazingly only suffered minor injuries. He was fined £120 with 3 penalty points for riding without due care and attention. To safely deal with, investigate and clear up the road means a long closure for all. The consequences could have been much worse and in similar crashes, riders have been killed." |

The rider he rode into was lucky too.

Yeah at the very least he could have been shunted offline and stood up, front wheel vs rear though, front rarely wins

Idiots see the professionals racing and think they can do the same, but they don't have the brains or the skills - muppets......

Re: Why the IoM police have to keep closing the road over the Mountain
This why it's best not to take your bike for TT week, too many idiots. Just go and watch the racing and have a few beers afterwards.
