As a TT Purist, I must say I was rather apprehensive about these new fangled forms of transport coming anywhere near the Annual two wheeled two week festival.

However after meeting the organisers, designers and technicians I was more than impressed by their dedication and capability to produce a nil-emission vehicle.

I was invited to their "conference" and was able to see what they are trying to accomplish. All I can say is that "I was there" at the birth of what could become big.

To think that 100+ was recorded on Sulby Straight by one of the machines and more finished than I expected, I feel that many of us jumped the gun in writing this experiment off.

I am convinced that this experiment is up there with the original TT concept. I wonder what those riders of long ago would think if they saw these electric bikes following in their footsteps. Many of us laughed at Honda in 1959.....just look at 'em now !!

I have just arrived home after driving through the night from Heysham to Reading.

I need sleep but still feel a buzz from this years TT.

A good show with a few glitches on which I must comment later.
