I actually knew Ces Weatherby, Don. One of Dad's mates. Very tall man who, together with Don Bain, moved into machine examining, etc after retirement. Another TT rider, Eric McPherson, also spent his retirement heavily involved in the running of the sport in Oz. Their dedication was unbelievable and I can't imagine the riders of today staying around to support on the other side of the pit fence once they have retired from racing. I think most of them move on to commentating these days.
