Great stories ive enjoyed them all. Friday 22nd May 2020 and sailings cancelled to the island cancelled due to bad weather,but as you all know ,you can get sleet,hailstones,or sunstroke at the TT.We were due to go for 5 days on Monday staying in a hotel,this was the wifes non bike break and i had a TT week camping trip lined up too,all gone. Over the years ive taken all sorts of machines,Matchless,Bonnevilles,Jota,Honda 4s,Mz 250. But In 1992 my brother in law,a non biker but petrolhead,suggested we take pushbikes with full camping gear,him on some racer bike and me on a el cheapo 20" wheel foldy up thing,never again.One race day we got lost on the back roads nr St Johns/Peel and i was keen to get to the course,we came out at what was Ballig bridge,crossed the road and got behind the wall,the jaw dropping bit was watching Phil McCallen ripping a big bit of ivy off a wall with his shoulder as he came .He was trying that hard.Looking forward to Manx radios broadcasts of old races coming up,in the garden witha few tins of Marstons Hobgoblin gold beer,its not Okells but closest i can find.
