If you folks could see any rider and any motorcycle from any era do one more race at the TT who would it be and on what bike? I think mine would be Mike Hailwood and the stunning Britten.

Would have liked to have been around to see Joey ride on whatever bike he rode...

There are  a lot I would love to have seen,  to difficult to pick just one.

Michael Dunlop on Marc MARQUEZ Honda, next thread.

Hizzy on any of the newest bikes

You beat me to it with Hizzy so DJ on the TAS Suzuki.

Bill Ivy on Mike Hailwood,s Honda 297 6

Jim Moodie on any bike !

any who are nolonger with us
would have been really nice to see what the likes of wayne hamilton could have done

Eddie Lawson on the on the championship Yamaha YZR500

Very well said Scaramanga. He was a star in the making.

Mike Hailwood on the six cylinder Honda.  Having seen and heard him round the Isle of Man back in the sixties, nothing since has come close to comparing with it.  You could hear that thing coming from miles away.

Pat Hennen in his prime on his works Suzuki

Joey on the Honda 6

Joey Dunlop on an rvf 750 (just to bring the memories back) and hizzy on an rcv (to witness the lap record destroyed)

yeah had the radio on that day for the manx after the race as they started " the acu would like to anounce  ....... "  i just new what had happened it was awfull 
to read what he done in a very short time was unbelievable  track records all over the place in his first year of racing  

Me and missus were staying at Cronk Asshen that year and watched his progress all week through the practices, every once in a while somebody comes thru and you think they stand out from the rest , the lad was good and was not surprised he won his newcomers race.
We were in the grandstand that day and missus took some cracking pics of lad getting his award on the podium, how gutting it was to hear that awful announcement.

Been going since mid-60's so seen most of the above but missed out on Bob Mcintyre and the first 100mph lap. Would have liked to have seen that.

I'd go for Norman Brown on the RG500.  I was lucky enough to see him race but he was taken so soon after starting his TT career that I never had a chance at the time to appreciate how special a rider I was watching.

Steve Hislop RVF rounding Brandywell 32nd
Joey and Cap Davies "biased" one year at Glen Moar Black Dub Between Laurel Bank and Glen Helen some times forgotten Glen Moar, same race one year, no one was faster, rare occasion I watched a race.
