Re: Another TT fatality...
That actually got me emotional. It's such a waste of a young life. I know he was doing what he loved but it's a harsh way to learn.

Re: Another TT fatality...
This was updated on the BBC last night. What a terrible tragedy.

Re: Another TT fatality...
hold on these two stories dont match up. One is an oncoming crash not in the race and the other is a race incident with spectators.
Still very sad and such a waste but there must have been two seperate incidents |

Re: Another TT fatality...
Just got back from there.
It's worrying how much yellow paint is marked up on the road - and this particular one was on the way to our camp site, not nice. RIP

Re: Another TT fatality...
As much as this saddens me, I dunno, I just feel a bit like anyone that goes there takes there life in their own hands. I guess I find it frustrating that every year without fail we all know people will die there. It just makes me wonder sometimes why they still do it.
Sincerely, Sad and confused. |

Re: Another TT fatality...
People will ride hard in the Isle of Man and I'd imagine that most riders accept that the worst can (and sadly does) happen. However it's still a tragedy when things like this happen. (I'm not having a dig at you Kwak but I guess it reads that way).
