Not related to the TT but I think it was 1955 when Geoff Duke came to Australia. We had headed off for our annual holiday and father had to return to Sydney mid holiday in the old '37 Chev to watch him race. In those days it was nearly a 3 hour trip over mountains to get back home. People thought him absolutely stupid but one would have crawled over broken glass in Australia to see the mighty Duke. I met up with Geoff in 1995 and got his pic and autograph for my dad, just to complete the scene.
