    No idea but it's usually before lunchish on Saturday, and sort of more urgently after lunchish.

    It really is the HARDEST thing to find out anything about. D day was a worse kept secret.

    There is racing there as well!?? It's not,and never has been about the racing for me - it's about there being more interesting bikes than you can see in a day.I walk around the whole place about 3 times looking at bikes,then I go home.

    I was a bit dissapointed today, programmes were sold out by 1pm so there will be none tomorrow. Speaker system went down during the afternoon so with no programme and no sound I did not know what was going on or which race was being run. A lot of fantastic bikes to oggle though, and I got some earplugs from Plugs for Lugs and listened to clear music all the way home to Hamilton.

    I think it is the replica Rod Tingate built and not one of Kims original bikes, still be nice to see though

    It's not the actual bike Kim rode, but it's one just like it. Sounds like a very angry wasp from a distance when it's going down the pit straight.

    from what I understand it was built out of spare parts that where Kim's
    by a friend of the family???

    so you could say it was his bike or at least parts of it where
    or so I remember
    and didn't his sun ride it (but not in a race)
