    I can just see him turning up at Douglas copshop again, in his marshal
    bib and armband and nothing else.

    And now I need mind-bleach.

    I love the line in the story "However, the pair may not have actually
    have broken any laws."

    God, I do live the Isle of Man.

    Course not.
    Err, but at 130MPH, is anyone going to be offended by his shrunken
    tadger for 0.01 ms ?

    I am bemused by this line

    "One man strips down to just his gloves, boots and helmet before the
    pair set off from the Hairpin and blast over the mountain, using it
    like a race track."

    Ummm... it is in effect a race track.

    The Mountain is one-way during TT week, there's no speed limit up
    there, so what's the fucking problem with the speed?

    He could hurt himself. Didn't you know that motorcycling in the
    altogether breaches several EU regulations. Hope he had leg protectors
    and a reflective bib on ..

    "The number plate of the naked rider's bike is taped up to disguise
    their identity"

    I'm *fairly* sure that's breaking a law or two.

    Well, you *could* have been going slowly, making allowances for the lack
    of leathers.

    Safety first, see.
