 
I HAD A NUMBER OF INTERVIEWS WITH THE MOTORCYCLE PRESS AS I COMPLETED 39 YEARS AS A TT FAN AND PHOTOS WERE TAKEN AT MY HOME TO SHOW PART OF MY "VAST COLLECTION" OF TT MEMORABILIIA.
I WAS ASKED TO PICK WHO I THOUGHT WOULD WIN THAT YEARS SENIOR AND I SUGGESTED ROGER BURNETT WHO CAME GOOD AND WON THE RACE BEATING TEAM-MATE ROGER MARSHALL (ON HONDAS).
HRH THE DUKE OF KENT STARTED THE RACE.
