On a positive note
The NW 200 is now set to go with a private racing benefactor paying the extra 200k premium required to run the international motorcycle road racing event.
Live coverage again this year on the BBC I player.
Knock ons from the ongoing insurance problems have rocked both classic events and the road racing and national trials events.
Very worrying as we could lose some of our legendary road races.
Various events in the vintage vetran calender maybe affected.
On a positive note.
