It was Malcolm Uphill on a Triumph Bonneville he was first rider to average 100+ on a production machine in 1969,Triumph used a picture of Malcolm on the Bonne in magazine advertising afterwards.One of those things I remembered as a bike mad teenager |

My first real memories off racing are 1978 hail woods comeback year I was at ballaugh with my dad I was 13 and it was a epic race we were all counting down the seconds after hailwood went through to pat hennen and he was late!! He had crashed at over 150 mph just outside Kirk Michael that was the first time I can recall being really upset while watching motor cycle racing  |
