That's "big cojones", and you better believe it. The North-West is the only road race I really, really want to see. And be mindful that there used to be F750 and Grand Prix bikes ridden on that course, right past a bar where you could hoist a pint and have a 180 mph close pass through the town square. Cobblestone at that. Remember those "felxi-flyer" Suzuki F750 bikes from the '70s? One won here.
Real Man's Course. Love to see it. Got to get it organized. But bless them the Irish will NEVER ban it strictly on the basis of "safety". It never was safe to begin with and can't be made so. Get on with it!
