Jock Taylor was my hero as a kid, I just carn't believe its been 25 years since he passed to the races of dreams where everyone of my heroes passed will be racing each other, or at least thats how I like to think it is up there.

He was the reason I started to race sidecars and he will always be the lap record holder round the TT course for the old sidecars before the F2 came to power. I don't think I will ever forget that day that Mick Boddice beat the record by a wisker on machinery that was far far more formidable to that of Mr Taylor's when he set the lap record of 108.29 in 1982. I don't think I will ever recognise the new record as there were some doubts even at the time. But maybe I think that is just me and the admiration I had and still have for Mr Jock Taylor.

The outfit is absolutely gorgeous on the move. It is so tiny...this is exactly what Jock would have had if he was racing now... just imagine. Well, you don't need to imagine, because Andy and Patrick are real!! Go No 8!
