Guys, Have you seen or followed this? I am lurking a bit around here but could not find it yet so want to share this. Saw the bike Jan de Vos build and saw some film footage and its a serious IoM Classic TT bike. I've heard Pat Slinn is also going to the Island and guess we all would love to be there too..... http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/2015/07/a ... lassic-tt/Hope to stay up to date. Cheers, Ron

Yes I will be in the Isle of Man for the classic TT, it will be my Fifty something visit to either the TT or the Classic / Manx, the last three years being the Classic / Manx.
I am really looking forward to seeing the RedFox Ducati that Michael Rutter is to race in the F1 Classic race, Redfox have invited me to their workshop. I think that the press report saying that Michael 's F1 machine is a exact replica of the TT F1 that I built for his father Tony to finish third on in the 1984 F1 TT and third in the world championship is a little ambiguous !. I believe that the engine capacity of the Redfox Ducati is around 1100 cc, which is permited under the "modern" formula regulations.
I really do hope that Michael has a good trouble free four lap race, ( the 1984 race was six laps ) and ounce again a Ducati will be victorious.

I,ve just checked out the Red Fox bike,and what a first class piece of kit it is. For the classic tt,and the regs allowing big motors,as long as they look the original,could we see a repeat of Mike,s 1978 tt win,you never know,the bike might just spring a perfect surprise for Ducati,i hope so. It,s up tp 1200 cc with over 100 bhp at rear wheel,and on looks alone,it,s a stunner. Good luck to Micheal Rutter and Red Fox for giving it a go.

Hi,
For those who go there enjoy, I know Jan's bike's and indeed its a nice mix of the old and new 2 valves know how and technologies and having seen his team in Classicsuperbike I think all potential is there and let's hope if all comes together on the Island.
Please keep the foto's comming.
Cheers, Ron
