Thirteen and counting

John McGuinness talks to John Brown on the eve of his bid to add more TT wins to his incredible record.

“There’s just nothing as satisfying as shutting down the visor and heading off down Bray Hill on a sunny race day in the Isle of Man.” The man speaking is John McGuinness, one of the all-time TT greats with 13 wins and the outright lap record of more than 130mph to his name.

Putting you in the picture

This Bandit was spotted in a police car park. The car park at the Metropolitan Police Peel Centre Training School to be precise. Most people know the place better as Hendon. That’s where the 2008 National BikeSafe Motorcycle Show was staged – see report page 16
