Friends, I've just had an article published on Motorcycle.com, and I invite all of your to check it out. It's a take on two very brave friends, Brandon Cretu and Graham English, who, against all odds, have competed in the Isle of Man TT and other challenging road races around the world.

And stay tuned, as I'll be covering aspects of the TT for Motorcycle.com this year via regular updates and short tales...some of them true.
Please check the story out, and share it as you see fit. Motorcycle.com is the most visited motorcycle site in the world now, with over 1 million unique readers every month. They've attracted some fantastic journalists (present company completely excepted), and are as up-to-the-minute on the world of motorbikes and sport as any magazine or site.

While I should just go to the TT every year and have fun, I can't help getting involved...marshal, video producer, now hack journalist!

Here it is:

Capo, I'll read the article when my missus goes to bed and we aren't watching TV.

I have watched a lot of the videos MC.com put up. Which one are you? Hopefully the one with the cool hair!

Ha, I don't have cool hair, but at 56 at least I still have some! My video isn't up there yet, but the article is. The video I did is available here:

Awesome Capo, I'll watch that later too!

I'm curious, do you play guitar?

A capo is a clamp used on the neck of the guitar to alter the pitch.

Ah yes. But my last name is Capone so 'capo' has a different meaning in that vein!
