Press release regarding TT lap - legendary riders

Unread post by Jo Warriner »

Wal mentioned this lap on the Moly's retirement thread and rather than hijack that thread, I thought I'd ask my questions here.

What's a 'genuine replica'?? Surely it's one or the other?

How did Stanley Woods ride a velo in 48 and 49, when he retired from the T in 1939?

I've not read any more of the press release!

It's called 'nostalgia' Jo 8-)
It is true about the sidecar family - you can stop racing but you can never, ever leave!

Totaly agree Jo. The organizers build them up to be something they never can be. The money should be spent elsewhere, ( the money in question wont be small change either.) :twisted: :twisted:

Not to mention the parade lap often takes precedence over the actual racing if the weather's looking a bit dodgy!

Still think that press release is a bit shoddy too!
