Tim and Dips as you all know have a new fairing for the TT this year. Ged is of course the current star of fairing building. Tony 'Monkeyboy' Brown isn't taking after Ged in quite the same vein but I can see where he's going with this. His prototype.
Tim have a great weekend at the NW200, see you and Dipsta next week! Dips mate, you look real cool..

I have to apologise first as I've just realised some of you may not know this is going on. Jack Muldoon is restoring Jock's Championship winning machine from 1980 (am I right?)
Jack needs some help sourcing parts, if you have a shed full of TZ700 bits then please click read more, if you're registered on facebook then you probably want to have a look at this group (opens in new window/tab) .

From this article on IOMTT.com
Fiona-Baker Milligan is to be presented with the Susan Jenness Trophy during the 2012 Isle of Man TT fuelled by Monster Energy in recognition of her performances last year.
The trophy is awarded annually to the female competitor who, in the eyes of the Executive Committee of the TT Supporters’ Club, made the most meritorious performance during the TT meeting.
Accompanying her father, Tony Baker, Fiona finished the two sidecar races in 11th, on both occasions well within Bronze Replica time
Remarkably consistent average race speeds were accomplished – 107.05mph and 106.35mph in races one and two respectively.
The Susan Jenness Trophy is presented in memory of Susan who lost her life while marshalling a UK off-road event. It is hoped that Susan’s husband, Mick, will be in the Isle of Man to hand the trophy to Fiona.

Ryan Farquhar took a superb victory in the inaugural Supertwins race at the international North West 200 on Thursday evening and it proved to be a superb day for his KMR Kawasaki team with team-mates Jeremy McWilliams and Michael Rutter completing the podium in second and third. With Jamie Hamilton finishing in sixth place, it was a monumentous achievement by Ryan and his team, arguably one of the finest moments of his illustrious career.

NG are off to Pembrey this weekend, Auto 66 along with the FSRA F350 and PC's go to Mallory Park on Sunday, and there are vintage machines at Cadwell Park.
Wherever you end up have a great weekend! We will try to keep you updated with the news as we can.
And of course, the NW200 is still taking place - but no slideys there. I have to work but that's not something to complain about! |

 A note here from Rob and Darin at ClassicBikeTrackDays.com -
"We have set aside 4 sessions for sidecars at 15 minutes each session (two in the morning and two in the afternoon for £69.00) for folk to get out and test, practice or just get the bikes out for a blast on 29th June at Mallory Park, the Friday before the CRMC meeting.
If all goes well and it is supported we are hoping to include the sidecars at further events."
Their site says they are for pre1995, so if that also counts for sidecars maybe the Post Classics could get yourselves in there as well - I should've checked that on the phone just now.
So, please check out their website (click here or the logo top right) and get yourselves booked in so the sidecars can be included in their schedule. You can pay by paypal via the website or book by phone and debit/credit card, click on 'bookings' on their site for further details.
If you ride an older solo you might be interested in having a look at their site as well of course!

For the last few years, I've prepared info for the Radio TT commentators on ALL sidecar entrants, previous TT record, best result, fastest lap etc along with snippets of news/gossip etc. I've always put ages in as well but there are a lot of new competitors since I first did the age bit.
If any/some/all of the following could p.m.or email me ( click read more for details) their age (at the start of TT fortnight) I would be very grateful. Chris Kinley, Charlie Williams use them when we start our practice sessions from the bottom end of pit lane and Charlie Lambert is very good at trying to mention a bit on everybody when they start each race. Re ages, if, just for example Shaun Parker!!, tells me he's 21, I'll make an educated guess then add 10!!

IT’S ALL BALLS AT PEMBREY
“And we’re off” back to Pembrey to start the 2012 Championship and after nearly six months off some crews failed to get their outfits ready in time; the Pirate was out on his old outfit and we – well we just failed! So, wherever you finished – first or last, it didn’t matter, the main thing was that you were there with your outfits unlike some; so, big respect to you all!
