Having been involved in a number of parades over the years my personal preference is to have a small number of famous riders and their machines going round.This enables everyone to know exactly who and what they are watching without hordes of old farts cluttering up the track who think they are still 21years old and can have one last chance to prove how fast or otherwise they are/were.

As for Moto GP bikes and or riders I really enjoyed seeing Cam on the Suzuki and to a lesser degree Lorenzo & Caparossi doing a lap.As previously stated anyone or anything which can bring the TT to a wider audience must be a good thing.

Imagine Jorge at Silverstone telling all his mates what a challenging place the IOM is,I bet a few will want to see for themselves.

Someone once said any publicity is good publicity,I agree.
