Might be an idea to persuade Ali Knight to turnout.
Jumped off more than once last time as I recall. Bent the bike into all shapes and back again!
Really quite entertaining unless your name is Anthony!
eek ! Soz!

CC is a great event, really entertaining and good support from the locals, the most 'packed stands' of spectators.

Track is good too, fast....oh yes.

Yep AK47 jumping of the bike 3 times in one day, one of which was on the start grid which made for a bad start for those of us behind him.
We would certainly prefer NO repeats of Antony's crash or Griffs for that matter but boy was he fast around there on that 583.
Also the venue of Paul Paynes class B win if I recall correctly

That start line episode was with me, I was lucky to stay onboard and I've got it all on film.

Oddly enough, it was the same bike doing both things in different years!

Unfortunately I too will be watching this year rather than racing :-(

haven't been on the bike since Anglesey, never been within 30 miles of Castle Coombe in my life, big crowd, it'll probably be wet!

I'll get my coat then!!
