"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?

There were 2 incidents I heard about, but I can't remember which one (if either) stopped the Parade lap. One was 4 guys (drunk apparently) wouldn't get off the closed roads and were abusing the marshalls - 1 of these got arrested and put in jail I think. The other was a picture that appeared in the social media of a guy lying in the road with his camera pointing down the road and his mate photographing him doing this - last I knew the police were looking for them.
