    Oh, I'm sure I'll enjoy riding a bike again. What I'm not sure of is
    whether I'll enjoy deliberately trying to go as fast as I can.
    It's the nature of that character that worries me :)

    Technically speaking, I think I was resucitated at my recent one.

    Auvache has been dead for years, but he refuses to admit it.

    That was *exactly* why I was thinking we should recognise the elite
    status of you and people like you. Lozzo, seems to have qualified with
    a posthumous one, on account the interweb hadn't been invented.

    Could so easily have been rather worse.

  10. My mate's Dad did something similar on a variety of German machines.
    I don't think Zoom had been invented then, he flew out with some outfit
    called Adolfair.

    Ace Guest

    That's pretty much my view of it.
    Doubt it. But I suppose if you mean you may not be able to give it
    100%, then perhaps you'd be best retiring on your MGP laurels, as it
    were.

    That's what I mean - I think I'll be fine riding a bike, but giving it
    100% could be an issue. And I'm proud of what I've achieved; I just
    wanted to add the TT to my list.

    It's probably a bit late now [1] but you've just made me grimace and
    take a deep breath whilst making an oooooh sound [2].

    [1] On new and improved anti-depressants which are acting like one of
    Silent Bob and Jays big bongs [4].
    [2] Hope you're suitably impressed [3]
    [3] Although Ace still leads by a grimace or two because of the
    collapsed lungs.

    wasn't it Lucretia's bloke? Muz? I remember the FZ died on the way to
    the funeral.

    platypus Guest

    My mate Alan, who came to the first platyfest and later binned his Vmax
    big-style on the M32, posted a couple of times in about '98 or '99. Not
    what you'd call a regular, though.
