Weasel1984 ◊ 2017-11-21 21:09	1984 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy. It is number 28, less likely 29.
the sad biker ◊ 2017-11-22 00:03	Any idea who the riders are? It might be easier to trace someones career rather than individual bikes (which could change on a weekly basis during a season).
Weasel1984 ◊ 2017-11-22 17:07	No idea about 28. 27 was of Mark Butler I believe. I can be wrong, but seems he participated in such races more for fun/hobby anyway: http://www.crashonline.org.uk wrote One of Mark’s hobbies is fast motorbikes. He created the Imagine racing team and himself rode on the track. In fact Paul Andersen and the BBC crew were at the Isle of Man TT races in June filming at a time when Imagine was already in serious trouble and teetering on the brink of a crash. Mark did suffer a crash. Ironically, he was driven to the dismemberment of his empire swathed in bandages. http://www.crashonline.org.uk/12/imagine.htm
the sad biker ◊ 2017-11-22 21:06	I can't find any record of a Mark Butler competing at the '84 TT Edit : That's any TT ever, did he have an off on Mad Sunday? -- Last edit: 2017-11-23 13:26:32
Weasel1984 ◊ 2017-11-24 18:12	Found what is "Mad Sunday" there. If not this, then perhaps something else next to the main race indeed.
