My late father went to the TT as a mechanic when the races restarted after WW2, however after late night drinking session he was the least hungover in the morning and had to take there bike for a spin around the circuit as the driver was fed plenty of black coffee.

The tales of old! We first went across in 1990 & things like that still went on! Not nowadays tho’, it’s serious, with random drug tests & breathalysers!
