All I know, is that I look at ALL the IOM (TT Course) races as: man (or woman), and machine AGAINST the TT Course.

Andy, really enjoyed meeting you at the Creg.. (yes we had some gleeful banter..in good fun..) And your finish was AWESOME..! Heck, everyone's finish was awesome..!

I can't wait for MGP 2010..!!

Cheers..!! Happy Holidays... and get ready for next year..!!!

Hi Ron and Ken,
Missing you already! We spent too much time in the Creg this year due to the cancellations etc. didn't we.
I enjoyed the banter too, that 's a good reason to be in the Island isn't it?
I've got quite a few replicas now but well remember the first one in 1995. I got onto my knees at the presentation, I had spent so much of my own money over the years (£40,000 +) just to get some sort of recognition or credablity. Ron, keep looking for that sponsorship don't ask for too much just keep at it, look where it got me - a ride on a Paton!
Ken, your passion is brilliant, don't let it get to you, we all have different reasons for going. I really love the TT course and will miss riding on it for the rest of my life but I will also treasure the replicas as they remind me of how much I put into it, as every rider does.
By the way I was extremely happy to receive my 'cap' on the podium for 3rd place, that was enough for me, just being up there. I never asked for a rep. Two very nice people (fellow riders) fought my case without my knowledge. I treasure that rep as a momento of having all my luck in one race. Weren't we lucky to be allowed to do it for all those years!!!
