Re: Manx Norton - Anonymous - 05-05-2004
Just gave mine away a couple of weeks ago...can only give it away once. Hope you get one soon.

The book is still available through most bike book sellers, there were plenty for sale at the Classic Bike show, try Mick Walker direct he has an advert in Classic Racer etc & his own website

I'm sorry, my collection is very very big and this book has not been easy to find....yet..!!
I will have to look in my loft this weekend but I frankly can not find it immediately, but I know I have it somewhere.
How long have I got ??

Ian, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Books belong on shelves, not in the loft!!!

The 33rd Psalm
The loft is my bookshelf,
I shall not want.
She maketh me put all away.
Lounge shelves are full too.
So much rubbish she say,
but a collection second to none.......
Retreival of items by year is simple,
I find them from labelled black bags,
But a book of this sort,
needs a special retort.
I'll find it my friend, given TIME...
(She is the Memsahib who 'just' allows me to keep this collection.....When I return from the TT each year I anticipate she has had a clear out or a fire !!)

Sad, Ian - I feel for you!!
I am lucky, in that when my first racing career finished, I sold everything, bought a house and married the team manager.
She insisted that I build bookshelves, cabinets etc downstairs, and also convert the third bedroom to a library!!
Not only that, but for 12 years prodded me to go out again - hence the "Scharnhorst" which appears 3 or 4 times a year.
If you're over for practice week, call and see us in the Billown paddock - we'll be there until the Thursday, under the Bavarian flag.

I have spent a wonderful day in my loft going through many a bag !!!
Unfortunately, Mr Slinn, my Manx Norton book was written by C J Ayton and while it is an excellent book in its own right, it is not the one wot you want !
Even so, this book has a lot of information in it,, would it help in any way >?????
