Isn't it great news !!

Michael will certainly have his hands full, I remember Steve Hislop telling me that it wasn't the easiest bike to ride with the over-run situation. I'm sure Michael will do what's necessary and bring it home in a high placing.

It is good to hear all the news about TT2009 and it sure shows that the likes of Paul and his team have the bit between their teeth, as it were. I hope there will be many more similarly stimulating announcements. Do the Russians still make race bikes ???

I'll be 70 next year and I still find the TT exciting.

Well done ALL concerned.

I look forward to seeing you all in 2009.
