A real living legend for our age group!
It was great fun watchng him and listening to him with the classic bikes in the paddock at
last years TT.

This is good news.

I met someone today who claimed to be family.
obviously a story teller.

I saw Tommy ride years ago and regarded him highly.

Neil must have had a long racing career because I think he was racing
at the IOM 1985/86.

Might be wrong.
