This is obviously gaining in popularity as Tony Wakefield and his British Magnum has had his entry turned down as the event is oversubscribed two weeks before the closing date. We, on the other hand, have been more successful than we were with the TT classic parade so we will be taking the BSA there. Tony says that he isn't meant to ride the Magnum again.....

But is the sidecar allowance less to allow more solos? Seems a pity some wont get a ride

RP, can't believe any club would turn away the Magnum, they obviously dont know the history of the bike or the rider. I still dont believe that your not going to the island with the Kirby.
Why is it that so many people are going & some have had their expenses paid when they have no connection with the TT what so ever. ie Kevin Swantz, Steve Webster. Dont get me wrong, great riders in their day but they have naff all to do with the TT.

steve webster and tony hewitt did the TT on the fowlers long windle, they went well, but crashed between the bottom of barregarow and Kirkmichael. They were bruised up a bit, but luckily the outfit was totalled !

Got the instructions and programme for the VMCC 15th July event. Looks like we're in good company; including - Chris Vincent (URS), Pip Harris (Vincent), David Swain (Greenwood Mini), Derk Rumble (BSA), Derek Plummer (BMW), Roger Dixon (BMW), John Phillips (Windle Imp) & Alan Hurd (BMW) (whoever that is?). 33 outfits and three-wheelers altogether. Should be a good day.

Is this the 1000 Bikes thing?

Met Derek Rumble and Derek Plummer at Beezumph last year. Great guys. Really nice and friendly. Derek Plummer made us laugh
