I remember the good old days (well not that old) it was TT92 I think, and we watched the 250 race on the outside of the course at the first bend of quarry bends, its basically the bit the bikes aim for before chucking in into the right hander, my mate had never been to the TT before and this was his first race, Brian Reid came into view on the loctite TZ 250 and the speed and noise was so much of a shock for my mate that he rolled back down the bank in shock ;-) and he was then a biker of 10yrs, so it wasnt the first time he'd seen a bike.
I also remember the TT 96 F1 race, I was watching at the first jump going into Rhen Cullen (Birkins?) on the wall on the inside, so we couldnt see anything approaching from Kirk Micheal, we could just hear it and a certain racer who started this thread and is from a famous racing family from Yorkshire and indeed won the 93 F1 ( I won't name him for legal reasons ;-)) came over the rise with his right leg sticking out at 90 degrees, some sight I can tell you!!! Can you remember that Nick or is it one of those moments that spectators come over and say "I saw you do xyz at xyz " but when on the bike you don't realise what it actually looks like?
