Well shucks, I thought I’d watch on the web but it’s only allowed in the local area.
Not finding it on a Netflix or YouTube. Is it played anywhere else?

Found this a while back. Not sure if it’s the whole thing or not.

Nice Video. Wish I had Mr. Ropers stamina (and balls...Isle of Mann in the rain! Beyond my comprehension!) Makes me miss my track days. While I never raced, I'd go to Jennings and Barber for track days every month. It gets pretty addictive. I really got into it, but when I turned 55, just felt I no longer had the stamina to keep up. Didn't want to just tool around with the novice group, so I gave it up. Plus, riding a motorcycle on a racetrack gets expensive FAST! Track fees, tires, transportation. It makes golf and fishing look cheap! I noticed in the video, Mr. Roper said he'd never married. Probably a prerequisite to life as a race junkie! :thewife:

I met Dave in 1978 on a construction site we were both working on. He was the welder. He was racing a Silk at the time. Silks were based on the old Scott Flying Squirrels. I remember Dave saying that he wasn't the fastest bike on the straights, but made up for it in the twisties.
Still racing, dang!

Thanks, I enjoyed that!

Yes, that was fun. Never intended to get on a racetrack, but now I can see the appeal.
