1977, as a spotty youth on a Fizzy I went to the MCN roadshow in York, no wall to wall coverage then, the only chance to see the TT was when the mobile cinema came to town.
Sat there spell bound by bikes flying past hedges and ditches, vowed to go asap, but college held me up till 1979, Hailwoods last year, I must have enjoyed it as I've been back every year since ( except 2001 - foot and mouth ) seen some epic battles, some bad luck stories and some heart breaking incidents, but I love it. Typing this at our digs in Douglas, cannot believe the weather, long may it continue.
Ride safe everyone.
