Hi,

I have just returned from an excellent five day break over on the isle, it was my first visit to the Classic TT; it won't be my last.  The bikes are WAY more interesting and varied  than the modern TT bikes, great sounds and smells (Castrol R).

My CB500 Four complete with broken clutch pushrod performed great, the poor thing even got thrashed for the first time in years. There were stacks of CB500RR's in the paddock, they sound sooo good out on the course.

Here is a picture taken at Keppel Gate overlooking Kates Cottage and the Creg in the background.  TAKE MIDGE REPELLENT !!!!

I think it would be a great place for a SOHC.uk meet, I will remind everyone next summer.

Oddly enough I saw lots of CB400s and CB500s and only two CB750s, none of the owners I spoke to were on this site and most hadn't even seen it!

Thanks for the info about Triggers clutch pushrods, I recall reading about them on this site so I'm going to get one.

Here is a picture of a Clutch actuator modification on a race bike.  Most other racers had converted to CB550 clutches incorporating a CB550 clutch case and actuator.
