Great race, really! I have wanted to see it since I first heard of it in the ‘60’s. All the great marques have raced there.

The Italian fours, the Norton singles, the Honda twins, threes, fours, fives and sixes!!, and Slippery Sam the BSA/Triumph 750 triple!

Maybe next year . . ..

As one who has great appreciation for the skills of mototorcyle roadracers, I have been in motorcycle roadracing at the national level as a sponsor and a tuner, I think that the Isle of Mann race should be changed an be put on a safe racetrack. The present course is dangerous beyond imagination.

But on the other hand I would like to be there once because of its history and tradition.
