    Well .. it is here again ... IOM TT motorcyle racing 2023 ...so a short one .. some young persons will die soon .. there were five last racing fatalaties and one later in hospital .. that is half a dozen... the organisors even managed to get his identity wrong.. RIP buddy .... believed a Frenchman ..So basically why do we need this carnage .. ? ... if you win so what ? does it matter ? .. it costs one entrant £300 entrance fee ..per race and more for additional motorcycle expenses .. up to £1K I am informed .. .. hey its a self inflicted death warrant....hey but YOU WANT TO ENTER ..AND COMPETE ..GO AHEAD.. fine !

    ..it is money money money...IOM funds Govt , Race development , organisation .wealth ...please do not stop the funds .. .. deaths accepted.. No more now .. let us all see the " Butchers bill " at the end of the week...currently we have fine weather... good luck to all the motorcycle competitors .. stay safe ...that includes the spectators . The TT RACES will never be stopped .. too much dosh involved ..

    Sorry folks this is not about lanterns.. I love all my lamps despite the scarcity of paraffin oil .. next post at end of TT week .. ( Sadly )

    Raul Torras Martinez ... RIP.. very minimal publicity this year about the racing by the powers that be ... reach your own conclusions..

    Are the racers forced to race each year?
