Edscape i suggest you keep your mouth shut. Thursday night was a very harsh reminder of the risks road racers take, anyone who competes deserves the greatest level of respect. You don't deserve any.

Ivan top comment mate, Edscape your obviously just a total **** who knows **** all about road racing.

just had to add flames to your fire here ed you obviously havent a ******* clue what you on about lad i mean you sut there giving it loads about ian simpson etc, im sure you havent the balls to ride a bloody honda stepthru aroud closed roads never mind a full on superbike ! i personally have met simmo on differnt occasion and a nicer guy you couldnt meet ! infact i saw him at joeys funeral and he was in an unbeleivable amount of pain as he has just broken both his legs at brands hatch,and he said that by hoook or by crook he was going to joey,s funeral.
i know i have gone off subject a little here but im just letting you know that your talking thru your ass bout simmowhat were you expecting from him ???????????? rostrums ? sure look at farquhar he wasnt even near a rostrum and he has been winning at our small road races.
one word ****.

simmo rode well on sat i thought!

Exceptionally well. Why anyone would choose to slag him off I have no idea. Just hope he ignores the knockers and enters a few more. I for one love seeing him out.

Not worth rising too,clearly not got a clue.

Simmo`s been there and done more in his lifetime than the majority of us can dream about, and if he still wants to do it.. why not !

Shows by the amount of times the post has been viewed, the interest that his name creates.

Yes am biased known him since he was a kid, and for me hez up there with the greats and always will be.

It was great seeing one of my all time best riders out there. Even if he was wobbling around it would have been good to see. But he was far from wobbling. Roll on next year - maybe if he trains he'll start winning again!

Have just watched Michaels victory again and heard his post race interview. What can one say when you then read something like what Edscape comes out with. He obviously just does not get the whole road racing thing. Respect to all, from committee members,thru to marshals, medical,timekeeprs and of course to every rider who leaves the paddock gate. Simpson was once a legend and has every right to pick up his racing licence again. Thats what I buy my programme to see and to point out the calibre of these riders to my son who I hope will bring this to the next generation with the correct attitude.

Language!! If you read the thread from the start, which you evidently didn't, I was expecting him not to race at all.

I have said what I had to say on the subject and I will not reply to this thread again. I have a feeling there might be some Ballysally footballers out there.

Good article on return of Simmo to the North West 200
