    Is the bike still in the Transport Museum? I'm headed up to the west end after work so I may take a look, pay my respects.

    Having to make nice to them on a day to day basis on the biggest thing that will ever happen in Glasgow, I feel your pain.

    Just the same when he won the 50 mile TT Championship in 1 hour 39mins 01sec in June 1993 or the 10 mile Competition Record the Saturday evening (12 hours before) of 18 mins 27 secs.
    Thanet area of KENT.

    Top bloke. Respect to a true "one of a kind". He should be part of the Secret Squirrel Club, the UCI would have a collective heart attack.
