Great to see all the guys [and gals], from the club. Paul [PJ], was good enough to pick me up on Saturday, despite having to come out of his way.
Spent most of the time gassing to people on the stand, some of whom i realised i had known over 20 years. Also met a few that i had never met before.
Sunday my wife drove me up and Mortons arranged for me to meet guest of honour, Freddie Spencer, one of my racing heros. As my mobility isn't good, they took me to the hospitality suite gardens and ChrisNI was good enough to take some pics. Freddie signed me some books and we had a brief chat. He is a very polite, courteous guy,[unlike other ex racers i have met].
All in all, an excellent weekend.
Four pipes rule, anything else is second best.
