TT returnees
Amongst the ex-TT riders who we have met so far is someone whose name does not feature in TT records, but he set a significant milestone.
Sonny Angel from California came across for the 1960 Lightweight with the first Yamaha to grace the TT course. For whatever reason, the bike eat up pistons every time he went and he failed to qualify.
Still running a Moto Guzzi dealership, he has a fascinating scrapbook with him showing his racing and Bonneville record attempts that he sponsored.
He is just one of many ex-riders who are here for the week.
Sonny is one rider I cannot find a picture of within FoTTofinders (Plug!). Another visitor, Bill Donnelly, seized up just as he left Bray Hill in the 1969 Lightweight; we have a picture of him at Bray Hill!
