Crikey, makes you think doesn't it - 78mph average over 265 miles
without a stop.

Respect.

Thus spake Jordan ((E-Mail Removed)) unto the assembled multitudes:

>> the single statistic that amazes
>> me most from the TT is the year that the first 90mph average was done

Especially as they all rode Spagthorpes in those days. ;-)

Fewer telephone poles then, as well.

Eh? I'd have thought more -- no fibre-optics and microwave relays...

Maybe there were more and the riders knocked them all down...

...and we all know they are still trying...

(I can still remember when we got a telephone line at our farm about 1955,
the PO supplied a trunk network down the road; my father had to go into the
forest and cut down 4 or 5 tall trees and erect them down to the road for
the engineers to install the lines on. We got electricity a few years later,
but luckily the govt. supplied the poles and stepdown transformer; as share-
farmers we'd never have been able to pay for it ourselves.)
