Hi Marco made a mess of my reply , you forgot Steve Cull who pushed the absollute lap record uo ,to 119.08 mph during the senior TT of 1988 riding the francis Neill RS 500 Honda , unfortunatlely for Steve the machine caught fire & burnt out at Brandish on the fourth lap . Joey went on to win the race .
