Is it worth me recording a flying lap of the Isle of Man with Dave Jeffries?

Depends how many respond.

DJ was one of the greats, he died on the Island 4 years ago. I have a DVD of his and will upload some of the best bits if anyone is interested.

If it's not too much trouble, that would be great. I've seen some onboard footage and it is absolutely mind blowing.

Just found this. Not DJ, but, Hislop is no slouch. https://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A9G_frg6WGlG29UA...my-vert-vid-top

Thanks for that. 'Hizzy' was a real TT hero, he had some famous battles with Carl Fogarty. He died in a helecopter crash on his own some years ago. Blamed on pilot error at the inquest. Still very much missed and often mentioned.

Just watched the Hizzy video. Its mind blowing that so many get round without crashing, so much to remember and zero margin for error. The guys who keep setting new records year after year are true racing gods.
