Looks like this newcomer really did some serious research before posting.

I foresee a great future for this young man!!
I had heard a rumour that we were going back to the days of the weigh-ins.. all riders to bring bikes, helmets, leathers to the Grandstand at 10pm, the night before their race.
Bikes would then be impounded to prevent tampering, and all riders would be breathalised at 11pm.
Could this be true?? :roll: :wink:

Tom and the Fly, head to head..............bring it on.

Tom and his mighty steed vanquish The Fly

Upon his landing today from his valiant long crusades on the far flung golf courses of foreign lands King Eric upon seeing the misery and suppression inflicted upon the people by the Robber Barons of Rugby Castle by their punitive taxes and supression of free speech King Eric made the following promise to the multitudes.

I will be immediately marching my arnies to Rugby whereupon in addition to the demands made by the brave bowman Robbin Fly and the celibate Friar Tom I will cast out the Robber Barons naked and penniless into the wildernes for thirty days where they will fast untill they are hungry and their obscene greed, avarice and vlgar obesity is gone and they beg the forgiveness of the people they have oppressed and taxed without mercy to feed the grand living of themselfs and their spawn.

King Eric further declared that upon the Robber Barons return from the wilderness suitably chastised and humbled for their greed and avarice their fine clothes, coaches and horses would be confiscated and they would only be allowed to appear in public in sackcloth and ashes and allowed to arrive at the multitudes paddocks on hand carts pushed by the cowardly lackies and sodomites that have done their bidding and conspired with them to suppress, rob and steal.

King eric further decreed that the coffers of gold and jewels plundered by deception by the Robber Barons from the good people of the island in the mist on the broken promise that they would never set foot there again and the inposed annual tax of forty thousand pieces of gold for not invading again would be returned.

King Eric further declared that any resistance from the Robber Barons and they would be put to the sword and their heads impaled on spikes at the Port of Liverpool to remind others.

And Tom takes the lead.
