Manx GP 2009 Ryan Farquar And Olie Linsdell 500cc Paton

I'll be on an Enfield this year ;) Try to be the top single, but on a commuter bike..... The thing is about the Patons, they are more original than any of the manx's, and we're far faster in the era. And rider adds speed, without getting a load of TT riders involved, the racing will never be closer at the front

@SUPERTEEN1 Thanks for this insight. I have a clip of the Enfield last year I will dig it out and post it. It was going great and was very impressive. This for us is what it's about home tunning then raceing on the ultimate race track. Something like it was in the day before I was born. The race owners should address your point about the Manx's and the TT riders should start with a handie cap to address their skill bonus plus the best bike. Good luck

Amazing bikes to ride too! And surprisingly, not so loud for the pilot either :) Interesting to see there is no mention of Olie Linsdell here, who's the lad on the other Paton in this video. He'd caught Ryan and built up a demanding lead after lap one of this race. It was unfortunate that the bike slowed, and eventually stopped before the end of the race. Even more impressive was the fact that he competed with a femur that was still broken in three places and a recently dislocated knee...... In

@SUPERTEEN1 Hey thanks for your input Resepct to Super Olie. The Patons are good but we the spectators are finding it to be killing the Manx classic. There is little chance for the other bikes to win and so we don't go as often now. If the Raceing was closer we would go because of the close raceing. Modern stuff very fast but Boreing! We recon the Classic Manx could be a world event i
