Why ban? Nobody was forced to ride in the TT, they did that by choice. Those riders died where they wanted to be, doing what they wanted to do. Better that than dying mindlessly of Alzheimers, as my Dad did. Or dying as a soldier in a war for a cause one doesn't believe in......
Nobody gets out of here alive, y'know. We're all going to die of something!

I Totally agree with You, Road Races Riders Live for the adrenaline rush and love what They do.
Unfortunately there are a lot of people which "think" that's all a business for Isle of Man (But They don't know, that there are a lot of Road Races further Tourist Trophy, and no much money are around 'em, even TT) and the whole audience is just for the riders deaths.

I do too and probably I'll never take place on a Road Race, but Ban these kind of legal Races is not the right thing to do for my personal opinion.
Road Racers know risks and They don't put on danger anyone else life, like most of the "Sunday Riders" do by going at extreme paces on open traffic roads
