1988 and 30 minutes to go before I start the Manx Grand Prix.

The start that I messed after forgetting to turn the ignition of. Well I said I was nervous!

The oldest rocker in town!

Whats that impressive looking front brake? Fontana? Ceriani? I guessed it would have stopped a light bike bloody sharply!

Early Yamaha 4 leading shoe Will. These days worth more than the bike. I also had one on my 250 Ducati thanks to a very generous sponsor.

I did that at Malory forgot the ignition switch almost pushed the whole starting straight then realised that was on a Villiers Ducatti special

I once push started my Goldi from the line with the bathplug still jammed in the bellmouth of the GP carby wondering why it would not fire
