So is a BMW with a Rotax engine not a BMW either?

Is it going to be on TV, and if so where/when? Didn’t find it on Velocity.

Maybe its my imagination, but MD appears to have changed. I’ve read it for years, but more and more inaccuracies and less sensitive reporting as of late has my eyebrows up. I hope its just me. Stuff like, “and I hope writing this doesn’t jinx anybody” and small things written like that just have a given MD a weird feel. I hope its just me.
All the best.

I had Norton stickers on my flat-black RZ350 race bike back in the eighties. Confused a lot of prople for a bit. Didn’t want to be seen riding a Yamaha then.

The Senior TT got canceled due to poor weather.

I blame MD for jinxing it.
I bet weather would’ve been fine if you waited a day before posting a TT even summary >:-(

Then again, MD’s only interest these days is to report on electric bikes, so I assume everything’s fine for you as long as you got Zero TT news.

I reckon Phil McCallen could still win a Silver Replica!! As Gutter says – you owe it to yourself to go once. I went to the Australian GP in 1998 and that was great, but 10 days on the Island for the TT in 2000 gave me enough memories to last a lifetime. I certainly wont forget that girl in the leather miniskirt at the Gooseneck that nearly caused me to run off the track on Mad Sunday!!!

(sorry for the bad edit there…it was supposed to read as follows)

What exactly did they add to the mix to make it special? This is a rhetorical question…it’s not even a full Spondon frame…its’ a modified OEM RSV4 frame. It’s cool and all, but it’s not interesting from a “hey look, it’s a Norton!” perspective. I’m not saying that the bike has more in common with an ART CRT bike than it does a Norton…I’m just sayin’.

On a side note, it isn’t even a full Spondon frame, it’s a modified RSV4 frame.
