David Taylor
Lives: Yorkshire
About: "2008
is my 15th competitive season. I've competed at the Manx since
1996 and have raced 400s, 600s and 750s on the Mountain Course.
I've been lucky enough to stand on the podium twice and win
12 Silver Replicas, obtained in every one of the modern bike
classes. I've had top 10 finishes at both the Southern and
the North West on the 400. This year, my plan is to participate
in the NW200, S100, MGP and Scarborough Gold Cup. I'll have
a few short circuit outings as well to fill the gaps between
the big road races - Darley Moor is my local track and Oulton
Park is probably my favourite short circuit. With a bit of
luck, this year's aspiration is to do a sub-20 minute lap of
the Island on my Suzuki 750 in the Senior MGP".

Ewan Hamilton
Lives: Drumoak, Aberdeenshire. Scotland
About: I have
been racing since 1985 and competed at the Manx GP since 1987. Raced
two strokes at the Manx every year and consider the “strokers” as
in my blood stream. Concentrated primarily on the Classic Lightweight
class since 1992, but have ridden in every class apart from the Senior
Manx and have been fortunate to have climbed to the top step of the
podium twice. Over the years I have also assisted many newcomers
on their first visit which can be just as rewarding. During 2008
I shall be at most of the Scottish meetings and am travelling to
Chimay to compete in
the Classic races This year at the Manx I shall be entering the Classic
Lightweight and modern Lightweight.
Shall be in the paddock if anybody requires advice and support
as races can be won and lost in the garage if bike preparation
and the riders approach to the Manx is not quite spot on.

Rab Davie
Lives: Strathmiglo,
Fife, Scotland.
This will be my eigth year riding at the Manx. Newcomer
in 1998 then every year since 2002. I ride both 400cc and 600cc
Honda's in the Ultra Lightweight and Junior Classes with a highest
placing of 4th in the ultra lightweight in 2006. I have finished
every race I have started at the Manx apart from last year when
I had a retirement at the end of the 2nd lap with a very small oil
leak (you cant take the chance). From 10 starts I have 8 silver replicas,
1 finishers medal and 1 retirement. Back home I will be racing at
Knockhill, Croft and East Fortune at various Scottish and NE events.
I will be at these meetings throughout the season if anyone would
like any Manx Grand Prix advice.
