    Did they pedal or did it have a motor?

    I believe it actualy used loads of mecanno elec motors and a 12v one to help with the hills. The MGP or festival of motorcycling has been a mega success this year in its new format, such a buzz going on. Maybe better than the TT for next year.

    Blimey mecanno motors hauling two blokes about…not wonder it took them so long.

    I have watched some of the Festival on ITV4, Ago and McGuiness going around the island etc. Looks brilliant. I went to the Manx in 1987 and have been meaning to go back ever since. This new format looks excellent
