I must say one thing and one thing only. If I had the money to buy the best machinery, I would, and then as mentioned before, I would look for a capable rider to ride it. Don't want my little baby going down the road with a twit on it that will crash.

There is no point in having cash you have worked hard for and be told sorry you carn't spend that on a decent bike its not fair..... total cods wollop. I am sure if everyone had the cash available they would get the best they could buy.... for others, like the rest of us poor people, we will just have to make do. If the Manx accept the entry then it is accepted... no if's .... no but's..... if it fits in with the regs, its in ...... you can have no argument against it..
