One being Mark Purslow, from Llanon in Ceredigion. RIP.
Wonder if he was related to Fron Purslow, Shrewsbury and Wellington motor cycle dealer and TT rider?

I have seen some horror crashes on you tube over the years, but rather likes the TT & Nordschleife etc I'd rather these event are available for those who want to use them than for someone decide they can't

I've seen accidents at Siverstone, Brands and Donington Park and there's room there to bounce along the track, ruining the leathers, hit the bales and jump up and walk away.
But the TT is a great event and people still want to do it - just wish the road furniture was made of rubber or something....

the deaths are very sad but everyone who takes part knows the risks, watched the side car races with the onboard camera showing the gymnastics of the passenger leaning over just holding onto one grab handle whilst leaning over with your head very close to a wall takes nervers of steel and total trust in the rider. we live in a world were some aspects of the safety culture have gone to far just drive on any road any you are bombarded with advice /safety/ warnings signs. i really hope this race remains unchanged.
