As you will hear in the next few days, Martin died at Tandragee over the weekend. I was very sad to hear the news, not only because someone died but he was good bloke too.
What has tarnished things for me, is the instant out cry from people. This is too dangerous, Its about time these events were banned. Etc etc.
This really F&&kS me off.
I race, and i race because i want to race. I have never had a gun to my head and have been forced to race in a race i didnt want to do. I dont want to die, but should it happen while racing, i except that. Like i said i dont want to die.
What gives people the right to stop something i like doing. When most of them dont do it them selves.
Well cricket should be banned, cause it bores the f**k out of me. Does that give me the right to stop it because i dont like it. NO, So why should my sport and passion be stopped because people dont like it!!!!!!!!!!
My granddad, faught in a world war to set people free from a dictator. 50 years down the line we are beening dictatied too, weather you see it or not.
It is my right to get on a bike and race in an ORGANISED event, at least it is organised and there are doctors there, ambulances and air ambulances if really needed.. I except it is dangerous and enjoy it because of that. Remember i have never been forced to do it, but people are forcing me to stop it.
RIP Martin. You will be sorely missed!!!!!!
