I've got a personal interest in this one, and incidentally I've just been invited out to New Zealand for the John Britten Memorial Race in March. Cargo, are you sure you're right about specials not being allowed into the TT? Surely the regs for the Senior state," Any machine at the discretion of the race organisers".I had a run in with the organisers in 2002 and this rule was implemented. I accept I could be wrong, and I'm cursing tonight that I haven't got a copy of the regs, but I read a 2005 copy last week whilst at the riders forum on the Island, and I'm sure that I read that line. I will be thrilled to see and hear a Britten at the TT, even if it's only a parade lap.They were great to ride, but for those who recall, a little fragile, that's another story I'll tell one day.
Meanwhile I'm delighted to read such positive remarks from Don Simons, and Russell Henley with regard Milky and Paul Phillips. Let's keep going forward, and let them get on with the job. Everything seems to be shaping up for a super TT
