In that case I'd better say hello before being vapourised :shock:

I used to spanner for Ian Richards back in the good ol' days when the TT was a World Championship round (now there's an idea). Spent many happy hours with 'ard as nails riders (sadly a lot of them no longer with us), and many drunken nights with Tom Herron, strange how alcohol and Tom seemed to go together so well, still miss him at times.

Went to the Manx this year, nice to see the riders still have the same determination and attitude as they did all those years ago which makes Road Racing the greatest show on earth.

So to all you riders, just keep doing what you do.
