A UK body representing bikers who ride green lanes says the government's made a misstep closing some of the Island's routes during TT.
The Trail Riders Fellowship was reacting to news the Department of Infrastructure will close a number of greenways during this year's TT festival to stop illegal riding as people travel to vantage points to watch racing.
TRF director Graeme Collins says the move will penalize responsible riders, while irresponsible riders will ignore the closures anyway.
He's calling for dialogue to discuss the closures.
