The best insight into the "Why" of the TT that I've come across to date

And not just because a couple of friends of mine appear in Simon's feature! This intelligent and thoughtful piece is the work of an experienced, quick and considered track-day rider. He is able to use his talents and fresh eyes to give an honest account of why the racers race the TT, why race team managers spend so much, why Marshals devote so much time and effort, and why once bitten we continue to return. Enjoy. All the best, Jim.
