When I visited MS recently, they said they they hoped to have it available in the second half of this year. I got a close up view of the prototype and it is certainly a large and impressive model.

cheers, Ducky……….it really is a cracker.

I just hope it’ll be ready and on sale for the Blackpool show.

I’ll be going along with the plastic friend if it is.

Hi Neil

What with you having a weekend away at Blackpool with your plastic friend…….I just thought you should be prepared as she might get a puncture.

i must be getting slow in the head, paul.

just realised what you mean,

she’s made of neoprene, though, lol

to late and too much sun on my head has taken it’s toll for me matey…….either that or watching too much TT on the box has addled my brain.

Neoprene….only the best for you…..

Its taken a long time for the TT to get onto tv but this year it has been great, I really liked the cameras on the bikes giving a real feeling of the speed that those guys get upto.

The fastest that I ever went around the course was 3/4 of an hour in a fast car and yet the riders do it in less than half that time.

I used to watch the race from the first aid station on the mountain mile where I got a very good view of the bikes.

Happy days.

they were that Paul.

as you say they have been fantastic, and what a last race.who could have planned it at all.

I also found the electric bikes fascinating…and just superb to look at, if a little earie to listen too.

sadly the last time I was there was June 3rd 1978…the famous day that Mike the bike did his comeback on the Duke…

I remember the date so distinctively as it was my birthday that day……….and being a supporter of SMB from early days, and also meeting him in Australia the year before, it couldn’t have been a better birthday present.to see him slaughter the oposition.

as you say……happy days.
