Yes, the psychic powers of the TT Press officer are obviously a little below par at the moment! Yahoo

Thank Goodness. I thought it was me! I know the TT is a little late this year, but predicting practice times?

RE: NORTON NEWS
I was in the paddock this morning and caught the sight (and oh so wonderful sound) of the Mortn being worked on and reeeeeeeeeeved. Wow
It didnt seem to me that the guys were very happy with it, but could be mistaken

It was very strange to see that huge truck and awning for one bike and a spare chassis!

This was especially after seeing the Relentles TAS set up!
That resemebled a dealers showroom!

Does anyone have any news of what is going oin with the Norton?

Michael Dunlop seemed to be suggesting on Manx Radio that the engine is a bit flaky(?)

When people say one thing and mean another its called politics, when organisers say one thing and mean another its called a mistake, when the ACU say one thing and mean another its called information.

RE: NORTON NEWS
Hey come on, look at what happened to Guy last year, everyone has problems and with the little time they have on the course due to Michael having to qualify the other bikes. I am sure they will get it right if they allow it to go out. Lets hope they do.

RE: NORTON NEWS
The Norton is only eligible for the Senior, not the Superbike race, so the answer is no on both counts today - hopefully Michael may get a run on it on Friday. Incidentally, on a Norton theme, I was watching at the end of Cronk y Voddy today, and spotted Trevor Nation spectating there. Later I was strolling past the Noorton awning at the paddock, and there he was again!
