Not that it has anything to do with me but I hope Dan does not regret putting this up for Auction.

Shame really, Top Local Passenger having mate so many 1st's all wrapped up in one Trophy....something to look back on for him, kids, grandkids ect.

Like I have said, none of my business and Dan will know what I am getting at....just think it is a shame

Wish I could afford it Hayley, and I would park it on a mantlepiece in the Sulby. Good luck with it...I'm checking my lottery ticket now!

I read that Dan (?) is sick and that is the reason of selling the trophy. How serious is it?

That is the biggest load of poo i have ever heard!!!!
No Daniel is not ill, funding another race season is why he is selling it!

Hayley very glad to hear Danny is fit and well and I hope the trophy stays in the Isle of Man. Looks like it will judging from the bids !(Raymotors)

Best of luck for next season.

IT is a great thing to have but at the end of the day it'll only be sat collecting dust and we came in with nothing and we go with nothing comes to mind.............Good Luck to you Daniel if that's what you want to do then
that's what will be done to achieve other things !
The buyer will treature it.

Nice one Malcolm and anyone else involved All will become clear!

There isn't a lot to explain really.

A group of us got together and were determined that this trophy would not leave the Island. We were successful in achieving that and it shall now be retained on public display, in agreement with the Manx Heritage Museum authorities, for all to view whenever they visit.

I thank Helen and all her buddies at Sidenet for the support and their determination and I am only too happy to have been able to help out and make sure that it stays here.

Gotta visit the Sulby Glen tonight to pick it up, so hopefully I will get my hands on one of these at last (lol).

Malcolm.

I find this one of the mosat heart warming things I have come across for ages. So typical of the people that I meet and who are part of this great event.
Well done and good luck Dan for the future .

Can I say that it was Alan LCR, at sidenet who started all this. And he doesn't even know Dan. thanks for cutting through the c*** yesterday, Malcolm.
Best wishes to Dan for his solo career...pity we're losing him in sidecars, but he might do both...used to be a tradition in 125 riders...Benga Johansen was a 125 man.

And I just want to thank you to Helen.

I just wanted to apologise to my incorrect comment above. I must have misunderstood a previous posting.
