Isle of Man TT pushes women to the forefront in 2026
- Thread starter Noobie
- Start date
These kind of things annoy me. What's the point of it? Are there women who have the necessary requirements to ride, but who think 'if only women were allowed to ride, I'd have a go'?
I was listenting to Gary Player (golfer) being interviewed the other night, and he said that golf needs to be promoted more to black people. Why? The biggest star and the richest man in golf is black - if that's not enough to inspire them, what is? Do people in Kenya want to promote marathon running in Cheshire?
GOAT - please move to the Desmo's Fuck Off thread

Yeah - dunno what thats all about....personally id say its more about money....Jenny Tinmouth kicks ass when shes at the TT but she does rely heavily on donations...i mean it could be down to stamina/health i dont know (and thats not any dig at women) - i speak from experience....i went out with a bunch of lads quite a few years back (only one of them i knew) up into Wales, over to Hereford and back home....i was the only one not rocking any form of electronics, my top speed at the time was 165 and i was at the back...quite a way at the back....bunch of fucking nutters [not been out with them since i might add] i probably wasnt quick enough....when i got home (about 2pm - out at 6am) i was absolutely drained....i dont think ive ever been more exhausted in my life i went to sleep on the sofa and slept on there right the way through til next morning...
They aren't racing as I understand from the article. It seems to be just one lap of the race course by those women taking part in the Women Riders World Relay and before racing begins. As the TT see it, it's to promote women in riding in the hope of getting more women riding and appreciating those who do.
Personally I think it's a good thing. It's not being done as a womans rights event, it's being done as a woman bikers thing. The more women we get involved then they also go on to promote motorcycling. It won't stop the TT , it will help promote motorcycling as more than just hells angels on the way to a bulldog bash and individually, might get our partners to understand why once you get the buzz, it can be quite addictive.
I dated a lady once who didn't understand when I told her that biking is such, that whatever challenges there are in our lives, just jumping on a bike and going out for a ride can often put things in perspective. She never truly understood until she passed her test and bought her own bike and then she understood.
Personally I'd be more worried about channing tatum doing a movie about the tt in the same vane as brad pitt in the f1 movie.

I will treat the tt movie the same as the f1 movie.. ie I won't waste my time watching such shite ... I seen a couple of f1 clips on you tube as adverts and it was fucking cringe and you would think its the better bits in the advertsThey aren't racing as I understand from the article.
