A guy called Slick was his mechanic for years. Have you read Foggys book? Very very cool, would recommend it to anyone into bikes / racing.

Ask Foggy!! Send him a mail on his website. Try it, do it or leave it. What can you lose?

Hi Rory

I think there was a bit in one of the bike mags about him, might even be Practicle Sportbikes cant remember now but do remember his name (Slick Bass) so had a google and found his website as he is still in the tuning game and in no better place than the Isle of Man itself so easy enough for you to pop over :grin:
Here you go matey ;) http://www.slickperformance.co.uk/10552.html

Let us know how you get on

One of my bike mags has Jamie and Foggys account of this race. It makes for interesting reading.
