Paton

This is the Paton that Mc Pint rode around on a display lap,he had done a 4 lap Supersport race a 4 lap Superstock race a practice on the Mugen electrics bike and then they had him out on this for a parade lap that,s ten laps of the TT course about 380 miles in one day he must have been shattered.

TT practice

My TT practice consisted of going to Benny,s daughters wedding the day before we sail.The BMW was on escort duty along with about ten others to bring the bride to the church and later to the reception.Sitting around in the sun helped us work up a thirst,it looks nice and neat here with the boxes but wait until i strap on the seats and rucksack with the bungees it will look more ratty !!! We had a good night there's nothing like a wedding to test your endurance levels.

Legends

StuF I buY

Spotted this motorcycle petrol ration book at a market a few months back and forgot to buy it however I was talking to the vendor a while later and he knew he had not sold it but was not able to find it but as luck would have it he tapped me on the shoulder last week and the book had turned up,I didn,t forget it this time and bought a hair cutting kit also so no excuses for looking rough at the TT .Why do I buy this shit I don,t really need ?
