TT 100
We'll make the 100th TT an occasion to remember by just being there...

Don't forget we are re-enacting the first ever TT, and simulating an early morning practice......at least !!!! More to come !!

However, I do agree that something a little more memorable than just the Lap of Honour could have been arranged to take us all back to say the 1950-1960's races. The lap of honour, as such, seems to include modern machinery just to carry a few riders who couldn't get permission to ride a classic bike. For the classic lap I do realise that the rare machinery is so expensive but this should be a one-off situation arranged for the centenary..

We need sounds if they don't break the decibel rules which now apply !!

The so-called lap of honour should be properly segmented into groupings of bikes of each era so we can hear them and savour them.

The TT has become an event, not completely centred on the TT races anymore, where there will be other parts of an extensive programme to attend so I have bought another couple of 256mb chips for the camera !

Don't criticise so much, just be there and be part of a very unique fortnight on another planet..

Finally, who do I contact to let me drop the flag to start a race ??

I'd love to do that as part of my 60th anniversary............PLEASE

(by the way, I feel the change of line at Brandish might just help "someone" to crack 130)
