Another stunning day weatherwise so it's off to Windy Corner for the day. Great start when loadsa blokes turned up across country on greenlaners. Cor that looks good I said to the owner of a Yamaha Serow - here you are he said throwing over the keys, take it for a run then. Great fun blatting down a rocky track and back - a grin all the way.
Racing started with a 120mph lap record on the first lap but promptly was red flagged for a serious incident at Alpine Cottage. An amusing incident followed. 2 racers pulled up and leant their bikes against the gate. A bloke spoke to one of them and upon sitting on the bike gave him advice on set up. He turned out to be 122mph TT winner Nick Jefferies. We all stooged around waiting to see what would happen next so I joined Frenchmen Claud and Stephane for lunch. Nick Jefferies heard us talking in French and we all ended up having a go in French. Comic that the French ate sandwiches whilst I cooked pasta. Anyway, stop press, Nick Jefferies is making a Manx GP comeback next year on an ER6 and a 750 classic.
Sadly racing was then cancelled for the day so it was literally home for an early shower.
