For some reason it hangs up... wondering if their pipes are clogged. I go to http://www.iomtoday.co.im/newsfront.aspx?sectionid =1354 and click on "Irish Ago launches a spirited appeal after being rejected for TT" - and it hangs up on me there too. You've got our curiousity going now!! |

Nevermind, it worked this time... Hope you get a good hearing of your appeal! Keeping fingers crossed here on this side of the pond! |

Way to put the screws to 'em! I hope that your appeal is successful, do you know when they will decide your case? |

I hope they let you in Kevin, but I have to say I think it might be tougher than we thought... I'll keep my fingers crossed. Here's hoping they bring back a Twins class someday... Nick |

A fantastic example of how British bureaucracy sucks. The centenary TT is a showcase for what the IOMTB assume will make it such a memorable event, by putting the biggest names and manufacturers to the forefront of events. What is a shame is that Irish Ago and the Buell have by chance happened upon the wrong year to run the TT. Any other year and I feel there'd be no problem with the entry. A typical case of British heads in the sand. Rocket |

Kevin . . . CONGRATULATIONS! . . that picture, for some reason, reminds me of the days when racing didn't require a fleet of 48' trailers. . . great to hear about your race! Court |

Hi one and all well finally i got word on my appeal to Race in TT 2007. If i had not rang the organisers i would never have found out it had been rejected over 10 days ago. I dont think this is very professional of them considering this is supposed to be the Greatest Road Race in the World. Already their a number of Riders out through injury and such..... But thats that for 2007 as far as TT goes for me. I will just have to start getting ready for the MGP on my Classic Ducati thank you all again for your ongoing support we will of course try again next year all the best Irish Ago.... |

Tough luck Kevin. Hope you can get back in next year. Can we still buy shirts? I know you have to have boxes full of the things, maybe Badwebbers can take a few off your hands? |

Not very professional at all! They deny you not only entry in the race, but also the common curtousy of a phone call to let you know; that is pretty low. They must be ashamed of themselves and embarrased to call you. Good luck in the future. Did you ever get a chance to ride that Buell? Nick |

Hi All as such the Buell is not dead in the Water it just needs a little more development to make it last the TT Course. So fingers crossed for the future. Also i have sold a number of T Shirts but still have quite a few left they should be ready to ship in the next few days after all they had to come from South Africa sorry for the delay will keep you posted on my next Race meeting cheers Irish Ago..... |

The word is that Kevin has secured a bike for the Junior Supersport TT race and will be attempting to qualify it. It seems that his first practice was below the needed speed and todays session has been canceled so he only has two more attempts to get in. You can follow him at http://ttlive.iomtt.com/Jees.aspx by selecting his name form the list at the bottom of the page. It is free tomorrow but they are charging $16 buck after tomorrow and this includes a live radio feed, which is actually quite fun to have on your desktop at work if you boss won't kill you for it! It's not a Buell but lets cheer him on! Also i got my shirt from Kevin and it is quite fun, go to his site and buy one! |

Nice air Kevin! That sure looks like fun. Was your 110+ mph lap a new personal best? If so, way to go! If not, train harder! Any plans to enter with the Buell in any other events this year? |

Hi Guys the Buell is away in Ireland being Developed by a top Ex Rider over there it should come back before the end of the year ready to race. But a lot has to do with the owner he bought it with the Centenery TT in mind so ill leave it at that cheers Ago.... |
