We have had a great summer this year for once, however Autumn is here now so its very unpredictable.
I also have this MV Augusta (sorry its not a 2 stroke)
Also this Spondon/Yamaha 500 TT F1 race bike for Parade Laps at the Isle of Man.

I am very lucky !

Re: My Elsie & TZR
Yep the TZR-535 is great fun to ride especially on closed roads of the TT course!
Here is a link to some onboard footage from the 1985 Spondon/Yamaha 500 Len Manchester World F1 bike.
from the "speed controlled Parade Lap last year."
Brian Reid's old bike.
Unfortunately the video stopped recording half way round the lap but you get the idea.
I couldn't thrash the old girl too much as shes very valuable.

Re: My Elsie & TZR
Awesome video Johnny! You really turned it up after you passed the yellow jacket.
Re: My Elsie & TZR
That day the bike was a pain to start for one reason or another.
We had it running in the pits no problem about an hour before the Lap.
Then went through to Parc ferme and she just wouldnt start pushing it, so had to get it on a bike starter, by that time I had missed my starting position, & the motor was still cold when I started the lap, so had to warm it up for a few miles, & it was a bit of a free for all lining up at the start!
You can overtake the traveling marshals, but it must be safely, and if they think your riding too fast or dangerously they will get the roadside marshals to black flag you and stop you, so its not worth getting your lap stopped & missing out on all the fun!
