Reading the discussion about how slower riders should be possibly excluded from entering the TT it got me to thinking how fast I would be able to get round the course.

As a reasonably quick road rider who usually who usually holds his own in the fast group at track days I would like to think i would be able to, with a few practice laps, average about 85-90 mph on a well set up 600.

Or am i talking a load of old pony ?

Anyway I cant make it over to the TT this year im afraid, but I would like to wish everyone, competitors and spectators a safe and happy fortnight. I will be there with you in spirit.
