Re: Parade lap before the senior on friday

Shame the PR gets the passenger's name wrong for the 1923 winners, the first ever Sidecar TT. The iomtt.com website database gives Denny, the PR piece says Perry - should be Walter DENNEY (The family garage is about 8 miles away.) A passenger's lot is not..........

Re: 1985 on the Mountain, bike caught fire

I'm sure I was at the 26th in 1985 and would have said Geoff Rushbrook but now that Tim reckons '88, I'm not too sure! Seem to remember the ( or a) photo was in MCN or MCW.

Watching and more to the point, listening to him coming down from Bedstead to Governors and out onto Glencrutchery Road on the Gilera, was a major reason in my taking a much ...
