(Hope this is in the right place, Malcolm - if not, please move it - thx!)

Manx Radio have announced that Breakthrough Breast Cancer are after volunteers for a rather unusual fundraising event next year.

They want volunteers to cycle round the TT course on Mad Sunday....

... nearly naked!

I kid you not - and apparently some of the TT riders have already signed up to do it, including William Dunlop, Adrian Archibald & Ian Hutchinson.

Now there's a reason to dig the camera out again....

Question is, will I recognise them without their leathers on?

TBH (and joking ASSide) what scares me with this ASSanine idea is bike vs cycle at best of times aint good bike vs naked cylist=knife thru warm butter and on mad sunday-or for that matter anytime TT fortnight=bad pr for the TT

I must admit that when I read the story for the first time myself, I had to do a quick check to make sure it wasn't April 1st, but apparently it's genuine.

Still, this is the person who went up Snaefell at 3am in full evening dress to catch the dawn on the summer solstice, only to find freezing fog and ice...
