I know who you mean, I think there was a good few who did the same and just walked away.

I think the worst thing I experienced at the T.T. where the presentations at the Palace Lido, I always found them the most embarrassing experience of my life and used to cringe and go cold when your name was called out and you had to go up on stage in front of all of those people.

It was the same at the TTRA dinners when Allan Robinson called your name out and you where expected to stand up to everyones applause and then listen to Allan telling them about you record at the T.T. Ugh! I shudder when I think about it.

Anyone know what happened to South African Continental Circus and T.T. rider 'Jolly' Jack Ahearn, I believe he just walked away from it all and was never heard of again.
