| Re: David Jeffries Killed in Isle of Man TT Practice Terrible loss. I will miss his presence in the Isle of Man TT and in my personal memory, will remember him always in the same company as Dunlop and Hailwood.
Godspeed. |

| Re: David Jeffries Killed in Isle of Man TT Practice Sorry to hear of his passing, RIP
I'm still surprised they race bikes there, I know there would be uproar if they stopped, but the place just seems so dangerous. |

| Re: David Jeffries Killed in Isle of Man TT Practice Same reason why Shumacher from Formula 1 won't touch Daytona - he believes it is absolute madness. But I think NASCAR fans would be in an uproar if it was cancelled - even after EarnhardT Sr. (RIP). MC fans would be as well if TT was. I freakin love it! Sad to see him go. We'll miss you 'BIG DAVE' |

| Re: David Jeffries Killed in Isle of Man TT Practice Running the Isle of Man TT the way those guys do is as close to a death wish as it gets. There is just too much stuff to hit. |
