Thanks for that enthusiastic reply.
May I add that your own family did quite a bit to inspire me as well!!
Tony was a bit special and cut quite a figure on the big Triumph.
His TT record was a good one, too.

You yourself have been no mean rider over the years.
I was in the same hotel as you one year early on in your career.

Then, there was the one and only DJ.........
'nuff said.

Of course, the family name was familiar to me, even BEFORE yourself
and Tony.

I have been going over to the Island since the heady days of 1967.
Needless to say, I feel quite a bond with so many who perform in this unique arena we know and love as the "Island"

Looking forward to being on the coach with you!
