Hi Gang, I have to agree with both NJ and BW on their postings. I have just competed in my first Classic Manx and obtained a finishers medal in the Lightweight Classic Event and all be it with a few problems but we realised what we set out to do on the little Mk 1 Ducati 250 a Finish first and foremost and second a lap at 80+mph which i also achieved and to reach 100mph plus top speed which we also managed so for me we did what we set out to. Now as for the debate ref past TT Riders in the Manx if i was given the option to return to the MGP proper and forego the TT Races in june its where i would go and i make no bones about the fact that im sorry i ever moved to the TT . Ive had some great years at the TT and enjoyed everyone of them . I will be putting in an entry for next years TT Races unless they change the rules and let me come back to the Manx then i will return to the MGP. I think if you havnt achieved 115mph at the TT you should be accepted for the Manx and allowed to return.
As for classes the 125/400 is dewindling i think they should allow up 650 twin 4 strokes run in the 400 class it would bolster this class and you have a lot of people racing them on the short circuits in the UK and Ireland . So i think it makes sence i will put pen to paper on a number of points to Harvey myself within the week all the best one and all Irish Ago.
