One of the memories of this year's TT that will always stay with me is being at Quarter Bridge on the Friday night of Practice Week, and hearing the cheers of the crowd each time Jim came through. We all know about Jim's bravery as well as his brilliance as a racer, but the way he got on with the job after what happened this year was truly extraordinary even by his standards. The results sheets might show that he was further down the leaderboards than is usual for him, but they don't show the courage that went into getting out there at all. A truly heroic performance.

I agree with every word, David. It is a privilege to know you, Jim, as a rider and as a person.

Well said David!

I know that I run this site and that I should not show favouritism to any one rider or person whenever I make any postings on this board or upload articles onto the site. However for this posting I quite simply make no excuses.
Jim you are one hell of a man, with courage to match anyone I have ever known. What you came through and then achieved on that Friday will live with me, and many, many others, forever.
A man with a heart of gold and bravery beyond belief.
I wish you every success for the future, for whatever you do, and for whatever you become involved in.
