You may have just hit a topic that nobody knows much about. Reveal the answer if you want and post a new question or leave it running. somebody may no the answer but its not me on this occasion.

 

[RW3200]

I'll leave it run over night and if still no response I will give the answer and set another, on a hopefully less niche subject.
Cheers,

Who was the first rider to complete an official 100mph lap in the Isle of man TT?

I think is was a Scot but I can't remember his name

The answer to all Qs begins with.....it's a scot......My dad would be proud of you Zag!

 

[midlifecrisis]

I should know the TT one, it was done in the fifties the name escapes me

 

[midlifecrisis]

Not Guthrie, as in the memorial, but he died in the thirties....

Mac something, all Scots are Mac something

I'm annoyed I can't answer this, as I know I've recently read the answer in Guy Martin's autobiography.

 

[GeoffCapes]

I watched a thing on the TT races the other week and they mentioned it. As Zag said it was Mac or Mc something. McInnes? McGuiness? Something like that

 

[BennyD]

IIRC, it was Bob McIntyre on a Gilera in the 50s. John McGuiness was the first to lap at 130mph.

 

[RW3200]

Congratulations Benny, spot on sir! Geoff Duke (RIP) was thought to have done it first but just missed out with a 99.97mph lap.
Over to you for the next one.

Cheers,
Ru

What cartoon character did Barry Sheene have on his helmet and why? What did it stand for?

I know he had Donald Duck. Haven't a clue why.

Because he didn't give a 'Donald Duck' about anything?

I'll give it to you; Donald Duck was rhyming slang for 'don't give a f...'
