More Manx Memories

Interviewed on the start line Mark Parratt was asked about the ex Donnie McCloud works Armstrong tandem 2 stroke twin he was riding. After all the scouse and semi scouse local accents all around it was a change to hear his Sarf of the Rivva accent by way of a change. His response was that he had never ridden a 2 stroke before and that you are on the edge of your seat enough around here without worrying about what a 2 stroke was going to do. Sure enough on lap 1 he coasted in to view from the 13th Milestone and pulled in with a dead engine right where I was standing at Douglas Rd corner. After a while his van came up the back road from Peel. A bloke stuck his head out of the window and called out " Oi Parra av you killed it ? "
