This is indeed Sad News, and i cant believe how this man was snubbed at this years event!
I am indebted to the late Allan Robinson for one very important reason, and that is;, when Honda were celebrating their 40th anniversary at the IOM TT, They had a special parade lap, ALL hondas, AND ALL riders, who rode with the Japasnese concern or were prominent TT riders, however, when i was siging on for the main Parade Lap, Mr Robinson, asked me to come back at 5 oclock later in the day!
I was rather bemused as to why, and kept saying to myself, maybe i am not getting going, but why??
anyway, a few hrs later, and i ent nervously back to the 38th milestone, and Mr Robinson, along with Tommy Robb were having a wee chat, he excused himself from Tommy, went and looked up my folder, and produced the photo of the bike i sent him, as to what i would be riding in the Classic parade, "Is this the bike you have with you?" he asked, and i said Yes, Not knowing what to say!, he then asked me, if i would like to take paet in the actual Honda Parade itself!!!!, now to say i was gobsmacked would be an understatement!, sure, i wasnt going to turn this down!, Allan explained, he wasnt 100% sure earlier in the day when i called in first, but, i think it was eithe Ian Richards or Dave Hancock, who couldnt be there for the parade, and the wee bike i had was apparently very populr amongst a few of the Honda brigade!, So i was Priveleged to ride this lap with all the IOM TT Honda riders!, something i will always remember,THANKS to Mr Allan Robinson!
I am so sorry to hear of his passing, RIP Mr Robinson, and THANKS for what you done for me that year at the TT, you made me a special person that day.
RIP
