But that's largely due to the scrutineering nightmare they are!

Seriously though, I want to see bikes and/or riders synonymous with the TT - not actors on road bikes (although he was very funny and pleasant at scrutineering, this is not a personal attack!) or people I've never even heard of.

I'm not that fussed about seeing MotoGP stars either, but I can see the appeal for others. I'm not really into short circuit racing so I didn't even recognise Loris Capirossi and had to ask who the short guy was.

I do like to see the likes of Tavera on bikes that are before my time. And of course it is always a pleasure to see Nick Jefferies back on the TT course! Trevor Nation and the Norton is another one that is great to see. And the sound/smell of two strokes is always appreciated!!

But I would also have liked to have seen some more stars of TT past - I know Brian Reid, Charlie Williams, John Weedon, Eddie Roberts were all at the TT, that's the kind of person I'd like to see.

With 100 years of the TT being celebrated next year, I'm sure there will be more parade laps. Who or what would you like to see? Or not see?

Maybe only superstars and comedians { not necessarily in that order } that have never competed on the TT course are daft enough to pay an entry fee.
