RE: 1995 TT
OK I've cheated and looked it up.
Joey, Duffus, Ward, Splashdown, Dave Goodley, Jackson, Day, Michael Rutter ,Simon Beck, Dave Leach, Shaun Harris, Garry Radcliffe.
I'll never forget having a faulty Arai visor for the first two laps, it really cost me. I always felt that was I race I should have won.
Fair play to Joey, he was there and did the business in Phillip's absence. Steve Ward rode Phillip's bike and set the fastest lap.

RE: 1995 TT
Well you would undoubtedly remember having actually been in the race
I think I was thinking of 1998?
I've got a picture of your bike, RC30? RC45?, leant up against the wall sometimes in the 1990's at Ballaspur I think, cant remember what happened tbh.

I kind of remember that year as having some friends over, one still goes on about that race. They were over in 98 but I didn't see much of them as we were all with wives, and on the whole sheltering from weather........... 97 we were mainly basking in sunshine.
1997 (Or 1998) Senior, I was massively hung over and staying at Glen Lough. I had hitched the course on the Thursday, pint in every pub 13 at the time I think, with a whole bunch of others.
I woke up about ten minutes before roads closed, Couldn't find anyone else, so grabed some supplies and walked towards Union Mills, too late, anyway ended up if a field, on my own, about 1-200 yards on the exit from UM, sat in a hedge on the inside (Not been there since or before)
It was a cracking Senior, no doubt, Bob Jackson was the only rider to come that close to the kerb by me, was awesome. His exhaust had broken the lap before, and was deafening on the last two laps. I was sooooo routing for him that day, and was gutted for him the cap wouldn't go back on.
Brilliant race, and I should go back there, to that spot, because it was great, on my Jack Jones, in a hedge and it really had the essence of the TT races
