Bikes for Rascals Addicted to Trouble

Flag at half mast.

Today I want to honour two motorcyclists who have fallen in the line of duty: Martin Loicht from Austria and Paul Dobbs from New Zealand. Both were racing at the Isle of Man TT - arguably the most treacherous course currently raced in motorcycle sports – which requires a warriors courage to brave. According to the BBC, Loicht was fatally injured at the Quarry Bends and Dobbs died in an accident at Ballagarey, both on Thursday June 10th. Anyone who goes whilst riding must be lauded for going out with their boots on, and envied for being deeply thrilled right up until their final moment. I offer my sincerest condolences to families and friends left behind. RIP. Ride In Peace brothers. Heal up soon wishes to Conor Cummins and Guy Martin who both spilled at the race, and respect to record-breaker Ian Hutchinson for taking home five wins. Anyone who has never watched the Isle of Man TT has to see it to believe it, even on tv it's not for the feint hearted.
