I have also bought a 1991 RS 250 from Japan and after paying for the bike and VAT and import duty and it needs a total rebuild, I will NOT be running this bike at the manx as the club change the rules to suit them selves, I have a standard 2001 Honda and the club have kicked us out saying the bike is too fast and my rider has won the event before, it states in the regs that previous winners can compete? I also asked the club for an explanation on the 8th June and still awaiting a reply, I have supported the Manx for over 40 years any spent long thousands of pounds on up and coming young riders to introduce them to road racing.
Having just unloaded my bikes out of the van after the S100 they will be staying in the garage till the S100 next year as this is the only meeting I have come across where the organisers are there to help and not hinder you, the guys at the manx pay a fortune for entrys only to get bossed about by the little hitler officials who run the event ( except CC Tubby, also CC S100 ) the TT devolopment and his hangers on are now involved and are holding the nails to drive into the 2 stroke coffin and want a 4 stoke twin to win as they Will be introduced to next years TT programme ( Fact ) so the man who saved the TT will in my eyes will be the man who killed the manx.
Rant over and also the MGP over( for my bikes anyway )
