Michael Dunlop has now won 27 TT races, one more than his Uncle Joey. – What an achievement.
Check out these speeds on the Sulby Straight – I watched there for one race in 1957 – that was the year the Moto Guzzi V 8 bikes were entered – amazing to watch the front wheels come up every time they shifted. – ( Don’t forget this is in MPH not KMPH)

It’s interesting to note that many road racers from the 1950’s used to ride Trials in the winter months to keep fit – we saw quite a few at our events in North Wales. – Sammy Miller was leading the 1957 250 TT when his bike seized on the final corner before the final straight. – World Champ Geoff Duke was a great trials rider as I have mentioned before, lapping me in a time Trial back in the day. – Geoff made his name racing for the Norton Factory, but he was actually signed up as a Trials rider.
