    I see he is now working as a paper boy for The Dominion? They let him take the truck home, long drive to work.

    Sounds like there will be a good Jap bike turn out for the Jap postie races.

    Will rose tinted glasses be provided for us pre 76 types who live in a perpetual world of British Racing Domination?

    Hit the nail right on the head there Volty

    They've even banned a real factory bike (albeit from behind the iron curtain) from racing with the replica ones in the "factory" class , just because they think they can get away with it .....and because it's not a Norton I guess

    Really ? What is it ? i've said publicly for years that the Register is promoting false history....and playing fast and loose with the rule book too.

    Tyler Lincoln would have to be happy with coming third behind Cameron Donald and Chris Swallow on a borrowed Manx Norton.

    1:18 on an old 500 single, a whole second faster than the old ES2 he normally rides.

    Pre 72 were grouped with Pre 89 Seniors, would have been better with the Pre 89 Juniors, so didn't bother taking the bike out for that.
    Scratch races were good, not every day you get to play with an Aermacchi and a Vincent Grey Flash...awesome.

    Any results up somewhere from 'The Hamptons' ????

    No Ctas or Mylaps .

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    Results are a bit challenged at present for the classes I have looked at. Some names are missing, some known finishers are showing as DNF and vice versa. Wouldn't pay too much notice of lap times at times as some seem a bit slow compared to how the bike and rider combo normally goes...

    I've heard whispers of a device that goes on the forks and tells and magic box the times Trans summit...... bet its more than the 5 quid I paid for my B 31 in 1963.

    Sounds like a typical race meeting for that system then

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