A good friend of mine has just been on the phone. "How did the Parade lap go", I asked.
"It never went ahead because of some drunken lout at Kirkmichael causing a rumpus", he said.

He went on to explain that a bike dealer from Bristol was lying in the road minutes before the Parade lap, and because of this incident , the lap never went ahead.
I had never heard of this incident. Does anyone have any views, updates or comments about it?
