Hey thanks Juan.

He's an ex Hamilton boy, I bought a few bikes off a shop he used to work in and have been over there with him a couple of times. Friends of mine (also ex Hamilton now London) pit for him each year.
His other half works at the Triumph factory.

Is there any more news on the threat of introducing speed limits all over the Island?

(For info for anyone else reading this, there are speed limits in the towns, but out on the open road, you can crank things up. But there were proposals to introduce speed limits out on the mountain section - and these would be imposed during 'Mad Sunday' as well, which is a big reason for a lot of people going, the chance to ride the circuit at full chat, just like the racers do).

Personally, I think if 'Mad Sunday' is subjected to speed limits, it will pose a real threat to the future of the event. That said, there are a lot of people that go to the TT who probably never manage to WATCH a bike, let alone ride one there...

Another question: How much cheaper is it to come over for the Manx GP, rather than the TT itself? I've been told it is a lot cheaper - and the racing is still decent - but never had it confirmed.

We still have, for the time being, no limits, hoever for TT there are some temporary ones on the course, and to be honest as long as they take em away after I'm quite happy with this. Also this year for the first time a ban over here also has effect at home... that should slow the Wank**s down abit!!!

As for being cheaper to get over, try www.steam-packet.com The atmosphere is far more relaxed, the racing is abit slower, just as close most of the time www.iommgp.com

"The organizers of the Isle of Man TT Races, the Manx Motor Cycle Club Limited, regret to announce that a competitor was fatally injured in an incident during today's Senior TT. A race marshal also died in the same incident.

It happened on the second lap of the race at Kirk Michael. The rider who died was newcomer Gus (Ian) Scott from Kendal in Cumbria, a motor cycle journalist and road tester who had been entered in every solo event this week Mr. Scott (40) was a single man with a ten year old daughter.

The marshal who died was named as Mrs April Bolster from Kirk Michael. The Coroner of Inquests has been informed and investigations are continuing into the circumstances."

Is this the same Gus Scott, late Of Performance Bike magazine?
First Ronnie, now Gus....

Yes, apparently it is from what folks are saying - bit of a bugger.
