Loved the Michael Dunlop bit! :D

Wee Mickey is a great lad, and is pretty typical of what you would imagine any 19 year-old to be like, given a full-on Superbike :shock:

Doesn't believe in setting bikes up on short-circuits, when there's perfectly good public roads to be used... and since he has no license, he can't loose it, see? :)

Indeed, in fact it got so ridiculous that at one stage in the mid 90's they actually had a series of flag men and marshals organised from the local Armoy fans for Joeys testing sessions!

Yeah, great article.

The enthusiasm and sheer daftness shine through in equal measure!

Well done.

Great article and a real inspiration.

We should pay some old boy fisherman to take a load of us over next year. There's a crane on most boats and it would work out cheaper and more reliable than the steam racket rip off...  We would probably only need half a dozen or so off the forum to make it pay..
Or am I just dreaming of the day I finally make it to the TT...??:pray:

Great article.

As a TT supporter, I find it strange that the motorcycle press have ignored the event (apart from the 100 years celebration).  The last article I read about the event was when Trev and Mark from PB went over...
