Pat Hennen
He's American, he has a TT history of a lap record and he survived a horrific TT crash....

I agree pykey, that the list could be long and expensive but he, for one, must qualify as being a famous contributor to the TT story, and therefore deserves some kind of assistance to return to the Island..

It was just a suggestion, but the TT was more world recognised in those days, compared with now.

I agree Ian there was no bigger Pat Hennen fan than myself and surely but for his crash he could have probably gone on to win the world championshp? in fact a picture of Pat hangs proudly on my wall but what i was getting at were do you draw the line and who pays?

It is said
I believe that the IOM are trying to get ex-riders from all over the world to attend next year....

Surely the invited ones don't have to pay their own expenses !!!
