Ur welcome. Credit goes to Matt Dunlop for creating it and a new friend of mine who shared the link to the map. Interestingly he also helped me just bleed my LC's brakes, last month, while telling me how he raced seniors at the IMO (1960-61) as a privateer fm South Africa. He rode a Manx Norton 500, shared stories of meeting Mike Hailwood et al and how the MV Agusta's just blew everyone away in 1960. It was coolest brake bleed I ever experienced.

Two stroke 500cc Suter makes it to the Isle of Man. 99 copies possibly up for sale - no price listed yet. Suspect they won't be cheap. https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q= ... 0881,d.cGc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Trials champ Dougie Lampkin plans to challange the IOM course right around doing a wheelie - using a two stroke (its not a Suter). Fuel consumption could be an issue.

Manx Motor sport medical services - STAT vid article by Dominic SMITH. This article focuses on the medical teams and race marshalls who 'scramble' to fight to save lives of drivers who push it to the TT edge and over. Nice little bit of insight.

A Guy Martin fan - will see what up at the TT. Latest interview with Guy (fm the UK) needs subtitles (in English) attached. His command of the language is part of his charm. He was born the same year as my Elsie - huh. 1st bike he rode - Yamaha. Good luck at the TT sir (and to all the other riders!). I believe a form member is at it this year. Lucky bugger.
