I'd suggest having a word with the guy who runs it all but he'll be in the Med on a big boat, normally called a yacht.

Perhaps it's because as a certain Mr Phillips say's now all the teams that compete do it in a more professional way. Perhaps he hopes everyone has big transporters like British superbike teams crammed full of spares. That would make him happy. As he told one team last year that's what the fans like to see.
As you say Dick it's going downhill quick

In my personal opinion, we send less bikes back for faults at scrutineering at the Manx. Oh hang on, they're the amateurs!

When they did away with with the 'tea and bun tent' it was the first nail in the coffin in my opinion.
So how long have I had these voices in my head, I hear you ask?

The tea tent should have been kept, it's where all the riders & passengers could swap stories / happenings that they'd just experienced out on the course,the adrenaline still flowing lots of hand shaking and being able to tell worried families that were waiting for news of unreturned crews that.....oh!we saw them waiting up at windy corner as we passed!! Relief and smiles ;) and the tea and cakes were great :D
Hey! hang on a minute . . .
