Whilst at the 1990 IOM I was talking with an artist who had a painting of the late Mike for sale. On the Mountain banked over doing the business. You've just reminded me to kick myself again for passing it up. 
Incredible effort on his comeback.
On another note I did receive the longest distance award from the BMW meeting.

Yes I remember it also. I think to me that was the day the music died.

A great man. I was at his successful return to the IOM in1978. I also met him when he flagged us off from the Earles Court Motorcycle show on a charity ride.
