Saw Rossi and Ago at Ballacraine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gavsta/3607190549/ I also saw Guy Martin hard at work on his Superbike - I think he was a bit shy to come and say hi though: http://tinyurl.com/guymartinpic Also saw a 40K Ducati: http://bit.ly/nq0OB -- Gavin.

I saw them at Glentrammen. One of the reasons I love the TT so much is the history, and seeing the two of them ride round together quite brought a lump to my throat. When I saw Guy Martin he was a bit busy - doing about 130 mph
Guy Martin is one of those people you can never ever accuse of being shy. He bought me a drink at last year's Silverstone BSB meeting and wouldn't stfu all night - lovely bloke -- Lozzo Versys 650 Tourer, CBR600F-W trackbike, SR250 SpazzTrakka, SR250 wivva topbox, TS250C, RD400F (somewhere) Garage clearout - two Yamaha SR250s for sale, email for details ..

Yes, on the TV last night. Parrish interviewing Rossi was one of the most cringe-making things I've ever seen. -- Krusty '03 Tiger 955i '02 MV Senna (for sale) '96 Tiger (for sale) '79 Fantic Hiro 250 (for sale) '81 Corvette (for sale)
I can imagine. I gave up watching the TT2009 program on ITV4 on Sunday night as even that was embarrassing to watch.
The commentary's pretty bad at times, but some of the footage is fantastic, especially from their so-called "high-motion" camera.
Yeah, Rossi fairly obviously wanted to be left alone, in contrast to just after his parade lap. I wish they'd spent more time talking to Ago though. I thought the high motion stuff was a bit overrated, although it was clear that McGuinness had his own line through that corner. I much prefer the onboard shots and during the crap interview with Rossi you could get an idea of the speed of the passing bikes even though you couldn't see them.
