Chap at work, having seen the TT on tele, asked me what is was like, as he knew that I'd been there. Told him about all the usual stuff then went on to tell him a couple of things that have stayed in my mind over the years. One of which was seeing (and hearing) SMB Mike on the MV, dressed in civies (no helmet, sunglasses, thinning hair and conk) waiting with other cars and bikes at the junction of Douglas prom and the Broadway until the Policeman on traffic duty let then all go.

After I told him this, I got to thinking, did it actually happen? Why would he have been there? Where was he going?
