Thank you Tom!

Actually, I was hoping more for an SS50!
I had one of those and used to have great fun as it roared flat out.
I was doing all of 49mph, but in my head, I was flat out in top on
a 500 manx on the mountian mile!
You really have made me think Tom.
I have been to the Island in years gone by on some interesting bikes.
All from Staines (near Heathrow)
I did it on three different BSA Bantams and twice on a Suzuki A100
(Son of Bloop for those who are old enough!)
Do you know what?
They were some of my most enjoyable trips to the TT.
That is except for the year when I boke down at Windsor (about 8 miles from home) and pushed the Bantam the rest of the way!

Again, thanks Tom.
Memories...

I doubt if any Manxman will trust anyone with a nomme de plume of MV!
