I was surprised that no one recalled that Ben Drinkwater was a partner with the father of the Robinsons of Rochdale family in a motorcycle business, now known as "Robinsons of Rochdale". Hugh Robinson sold his shares in the business recently to David Dearden who raced the Manx a few years back with some success, but Hugh's elder brother Tom remains as M.D. and Tom's son Matthew works in the business.
Just thought I would add this note to last weeks comments on Drinkwaters bend,now the 11th Milestone, surely one of the best sequence of bends on the TT course.
