The Absurdity of the ACU

Licence Issues:

Yes... according to the ACU, 7 races over 2 days in 3 different classes only counts as 1 'meeting'. It depends how the club applies for the licences for the race day. 1 club licence = 1 'meeting' for the TT Mountain Course Licence. So... a bit of pot luck whether your club uses 2 licences for a weekend or 1.

How this for a bit of technical-so-far-removed-from-the-reality-of-racing-motorcycles bullshit!?

I think the ACU have lost touch with what it is really like to participate in racing motorcycles. Sad.

So... I have to do 3 more 'meetings' in the next few weeks.

More money, more time, more stress, more risk, more pain.

The 'money' factor looks to be to motivator for the ACU. Facists!

Mike said I can use his wee Monster - it's the only choice here. It'll be a farce running it against the likes of 160 horsepower Ducatis... with one hand! But you see, this is in the interest a 'safety' according to the ACU. Absolutely absurd!

Now I am angry.

Now I am even more determined.
