When I lived on the west coast of Wales ,I used to listen to the TT on the radio .
I remember when "yer man" Joey beat Mike Hailwood's record number of TT wins [ 21 was it Dave ?] ,anyway Joey almost apologised for beating the record and said it was a shame that Mike's record no longer stood and he'd never wanted to beat it .
A modest sportsman ,very rare these days .
The hair used to stand up on the back of my neck at the sound of him opening up one of the big Hondas as he rocketed up the mountain .
Sadly missed .
