Title: Welsh TT
Post by: BazaJT on 23 November 2017, 19:48:04
There is it seems to be a Welsh TT from next year.The circuit will be 5.25 miles,so hardly in Isle of Man territory,but at least it's a start :y Should be interesting and will hopefully be a success and have a bright future.

It's that long because that's the longest stretch of road in Wales without a camera van on it :D

As they're going to be racing high powered motorbikes round it they're likely to become the smoothest pot hole free roads in Britain :D ;D

Which will then be frequented by people looking for a nice driving road..
..and will then be frequented by camera vans every 500 yards.

Yep, and then there'll be a 40 MPH speed limit due to it being not enough of a cash cow an accident black spot.

Because 40MPH limits are highly effective against bikers doing 140 MPH. ::)

Yup..

That said, my only experience of Plod in Wales was very good - they attended after a member of our congregation managed to bin her Type 49 Elise and narrowly avoided ploughing a farmers field for him (which was near vertical) and they were helpful, non judgemental etc, even pointed out the diesel patch on the road (so, for once, that seemed a legitimate excuse for crashing ;D).

'course it might have helped that she's pretty ;D
