If I remember right, the first couple of fatalities were a couple of French riders. They had pulled out to pass a car, forgot to pull back in, and then at the next corner,.......I can very easily see it happening. I decided to take the bus wherever I needed and the transportation system is pretty good,...if expensive. Next time I go ( notice next not if! ) I`ll take the unlimited 1 week bus pass but at 75 pounds it ain`t cheap!!
Sorry for the thread hijack.

Popular opinion on the Island has it that a lot of visitor crashes are Europeans (for some reason German riders are often associated with this) using all the road on the mountain when it's clear and then taking to the wrong side when they see an oncoming vehicle. Not saying it's true but I've heard it voiced more than once.

Subject: Re: [DucatiST] New TT film trailerI went to the TT in `08. Absolutely fantastic time, can`t wait to go back. When I went there were no rider fatalities but I believe 4 visitor fatalities. A few people have asked if I rode while I was there to which I replied, "are you nuts?? I`d have to learn driving on the wrong side of the road while sharing the road with 50,000 bike mad riders all trying to ride the same road meant for an entire population of 85,000!! Maybe next time!"Ray
