wtf 621 Posted February 22, 2023 5 hours ago, lisa-colette said: We are all allowed opinions, but if a rider doesn't think a track is safe then you have to go with that. If the majority of other riders thought it was okay then imo there must have been something else going on behind the scenes for him and Batch not want to ride. 1 hour ago, stevehone said: that wasn't necessarily the case though ... The truth of the matter is that there were two riders who refused to be bullied, the majority of the others didn't want to ride at all, but changed their minds after being "persuaded". People will always take one side or the other, which is their prerogative. I don't think anyone handled the situation well that night on either side of the coin. But the root cause of the problem was a poorly prepared racetrack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough. I would say then that the regulation regarding the air fence installation were sub par, because if the bike hitting the air fence first means it can lift like that and the rider hits a solid concrete wall then it’s not really doing it’s job. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HARLEY11A 2 Posted February 22, 2023 7 hours ago, SPEEDY69 said: Disagree on that. Many a time there are riders who think a track is unsafe but many others don't. If you refuse to ride then face the consequences. Does anyone remember that great British Final won by Kenny C who raced and passed others, with a broken leg, on a track which others said was unsafe and wanted the meeting off? Not so many prima donnas in those days though and they did ride on some really rough tracks, with no air fences. yes i was there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A rider with a helmet stood on the centre green with a load of fans there shouting "Take it off!, Take it off"..... With Jonathan Ross sat in the stands saying it was "definitely Mick Poole".... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
