Cheers, Nick.

The TT circuit is such a strange place. So many people I have known find it impossible to stop going there and so many never came back.

I am only glad that in '78 when I entered the Manx my bank manager refused to honour the cheque for the entry.

The TT circuit is such a unique place. So many people find it impossible to stop going there and so many have never come back.

Sad news. Remember a young friend, from way back, was persuaded to take on the passenger slot in a sidecar outfit. His relative inexperience, plus an unfortunately sudden decel, cost him his life. Far too young to die, for taking part in a very specialised sector of bike sport, which has proved all too unforgiving.
