I'm absolutely ecstatic for John. What a remarkable performance yesterday - especially after a poor week (by his exceptional standards). I've only just seen the highlights on the ITV Player & he was unstoppable from the off when the re-run got under way. I know Hutchy had problems with a cracked exhaust after the half way point, but I can't think even on a Kwak that was 100% he could've lived with JM.

A superb ride by James Hillier too; and pleasing to see Guy finally getting his backside into gear & joining the ever-growing 132+ club. And what about Peter Hickman?! Sticking in a 131+ mph lap on a 'stocker in only his 2nd year?! That lad is surely destined for TT glory in the not-too-distant'.

Oh & a huge THANK YOU to Malcolm for all his work & commitment to running this superb forum; and to all the contributers that have enriched this old fart's TT 2015 immeasurably - since I didn't make it over there this year. I'm going again next year though, so I'd better get my act together asap. Oh, and a week's break on the Island next month isvery appealing at the mo. Affordable (ish) ferry crossings plus B&B accomodation; & days spent circulating around The Mountain Course: what could possibly be better? Marvelous stuff.
