for the 'parade' lap of the Isle of Man TT this year and was going
rather well until he got rather carried away

From The Good Captain's point of view it is good to know that even the
experienced professionals can get it wrong on a parade lap at the IoM
on an old bike :o), from owner Bob's point of view it is good to know that
his pride and joy is going to be restored by Mr Miller who has a whole
museum named after him full of restoration equipment and experience.

He'll need it:

If I'm not mistaken, that's coming up the hill from Yam/Ramsey

hey lads, the rider sammy miller was a world champion trials rider in his prime so jumping an over a log or in this case a stone wall looked fairly straight foward.
