As one who has great appreciation for the skills of mototorcyle roadracers, I have been in motorcycle roadracing at the national level as a sponsor and a tuner, I think that the Isle of Mann race should be changed an be put on a safe racetrack. The present course is dangerous beyond imagination.

But on the other hand I would like to be there once because of its history and tradition.

i think history and tradition trump safety... without the risk, it's just another bike race

Have seen (on tv) some of that Isle of Mann racing

Scary looking course
