Re: TT

It is a pity that today's TT is not totally represented by this film (yes I have seen it well over 100 times and can actually sing the songs therein to my own ukulele), it can never be as it was then, "Health and Safety" would not allow people to fight on Douglas Head !! Nor would people be allowed to ride two up in a clearly unsafe tricycle !!

However, No Limit gives out a feel-good feeling and it is time it was digitally coloured and shown everywhere. I thought it could stand a remake but after seeing remakes of "Get Carter" and others, there's nowt like an original.



I met Florrie Desmond not long before she died and I had such a wonderful chat with her about No Limit....she remembered it clearly and she seemed to love the Island as well.

When I go to M/C meetings to extol the TT, I take No Limit, but spend time following its showing to bring it all up to date positively.

Yes Folks it is a great film, get your copy now from DUKE


Thanks for your post IAN,
I agree with all you say but I could not have described it all as well as you have, we must have started spectating the TT about the same time.
So we probably share some of the same memories.

I can remember seeing NO LIMIT for the first time, and at that time dont remember it being funny at all, it was deadly serious stuff for me seeing all the racing etc. Then stepping out of the cinema and seeing the Island exactly as I had just seen it on the screen. Happy days indeed.
