As to the TT or professional riders at the Manx, this will go on for ever but if any rider averaging over 100mph is discounted as far as reps are concerned, would this solve the problem!

Although Ryan is obviously quick the main difference was what he was riding, and it is that which has put off a large number of riders. Although completely modern it's closer to post classic, and now that 4 valve heads are allowed that is where it should be

There's no doubt the Paton is quick, but it is within current rules, just as the replica Manx Nortons and G50's are. Let,s not forget that Andy was also riding a Paton.
Having said that, I for one am delighted that he got his replica- great bloke and well deserved. Well done Andy!
