    I've been around the scene longer than most and have been through seasons like this before.
    All you can do is live in the moment and enjoy what you do while you do it.

    In my case now, what usually happens is some young bugger turns up and asks how can i do this ?
    If he's enthusistic enough I get dragged into something interesting - and we're off to the races again....

    And the joy is twofold, being helped out by a legend that in the most modest way, has all the answers, & also calls me a young bugger.
    To further add to this years shocking TT record, Ian Bell has come undone at Ballaspur & lost his life as a result.

    I think there has been another solo death as well

    The draw of doing the tt is great and sad I take my hat off to every one that does it

    "If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

    Best explanation I could find

    DAY TIME MOT? MYTH OR REAL
    There is only one MOT test and only one type of certificate, but you can MOT bikes and or cars for that matter without lights. You will get an advisory note to say that it has no lights and of course you can't ride the bike at night or during seriously reduced visibility.
    There are a lot of myths surrounding this subject and some will incorrectly suggest that you need a brake light, although you might live longer if you fit one.
    Be prepared for a whole lot of attention from Plod though as most don't know the more obscure aspects of the law likewise many MOT testers.

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    I woke up to a message giving me this terrible news. I've known Ian since I was a teenager. Lovely bloke. I'm gutted.
