Default I'm leaning on a lampost- TSM

The story of TSM's bike.
it has no sidestand or centre stand so he has to "lean it on a lampost" everywhere..

so I think it should be named george Formby- or George for short.
of course I was there to record each and every occasion and log the leaning aspect of TSM's bike for posterity.

I have subsequently heard the bike is not well.. so "get well soon george"

It never ceased to amaze me how he always found somewhere to lean it!

Reminds me of the article where one of the PB lads rode a WSB (or was it Moto GP?) bike back to the UK from France. He had to lean it against the wall whenever he stopped for fuel/a leak.

Wasn't so much that he always found a space, it was that it was always a really good space. I always ended up parked beside the bins.

TSM's TT has been a mega source of amazement over the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately the run back from the ride out appears to have done some fairly bad things to the insides of the engine
