Don't know whats wrong with them mate.i think it's about 20k + bikers go to the iom to watch the TT every year. And to enjoy the 1 way both lanes no speed limits over the mountain section. I've been once with a few friends and if you are a keen biker then what's better than being able to ride as fast as you want. without being done for speeding the bikers love it..and long may it continue.. As for paragliding it isn't that extreme really.any able bodied person can do it. That guy done it on a sofa lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I ain’t trying to educate anyone on anything, just agreeing with Sharks claim of blatant hypocrisy on here and in the real world. It's still going on greb, with the same rhetoric from the same people. Don't lose sleep over it mate, some things just won't change Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The big "IF" Just like you now learning to do a 360 ticket.and wondering IF I can do this and that on a digger.and your head is full of self doubt.and that's natural because you are attempting to learn a new occupation.but it's something you really want to do.that's why you are doing it. If you don't take a few risks in life then what a boring life that would be. So stop thinking "IF" and start thinking the word "imagine" instead.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hey I'm not immune to hypocrisy either so I'm not pretending to be holier-than-thou. I've said it countless times on here, the Manchester bombing proved to me that we have no fight in us whatsoever. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lives become intertwined and its impossible to remove all contact with people you don't see eye to eye with which is exactly what your government wants, grind people down till they just except it as the new normal. Some people though will never except it as normal and fight back unlike yourself any many others who rolled over and took your fate without so much as a scuffle. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It ain't really that complicated, us humans are habitual. It would be quite easy to shun people of a different race or nationality should we choose to do so. And listen to yourself will you, crying on a forum ain't going to do anything about it. I haven't rolled over for nothing and neither have many others, what's really going on here is we don't give much a care to it until it's directly affecting us. Selfish and shortsighted yes but that's how I see it. Whatever we do we're on to a loser so just get on with life and hope for the best.
