            @wiseowl, thank you for the compliment. :)

            There is still something that attracts people to owning Nortons even now, take a look at the link below, there are pictures there of the bike my brother is building that you might find interesting. :)
            http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/bikes-bikes-and-more-bikes.64425/page-2

            There is a statue of Joey Dunlop on his bike up on the mountain part of the TT course, I'll have to go and take a photo of it.

              Totally agree. I get the impression that he will be THE force to beat for years to come.

                I wouldn't count guy martin out of the picture though as he has been putting in some very quick times and so has bruce anstey beating Michael Dunlops fastest speed. :yahoo:

                  @bexy13 - top bloke that Bruce Anstey is he lacks the out and out hunger of Michael Dunlop.

                  Your wish is my command @wiseowl! :)

                  TT finishes this coming Saturday and it's too dangerous to venture up there at the moment, so as soon as there is a decent weather day and it's quieter on the roads, I'll be off! :)

                      With a brew in hand, a thoughtful Guy Martin after retiring from the Superstock race today at Ramsey.

                        Well, I have certainly learnt quite a lot from watching the TT.
                        1. They drive around it 'REALLY' fast! :ouch1:
                        So much for 'keep to the left!'
                        2. It's not a little island...It's about 6 times bigger than I imagined....32 miles long! (I think?) :ouch1:
                        3. It's not shaped like 3 legs....It's island shaped.
                        4. It's expensive to get to at a certain time of year. :sad:
                        5. It has a Capital!

                        It looks like everyone enjoyed it though. I hope those who were injured make speedy recoveries and congratulations to those who won. They certainly deserve to celebrate :) Thanks for entertaining us with your skills and courage. Awesome!
