    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.

    You'd think wouldn't you, but Glasgow Life (council) always have to complicate things.

    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.
