Jim Moodie - TT Racer

Glaswegian, Jim 'Mad Dog' Moodie has not enjoyed the best of luck at the TT, but for 1999 the coveted Fogarty lap record was his - at least for that year anyway ;-)

Moodie pictured here taking some air time at Ballaugh Bridge.

In the 1999 Senior TT Jim broke Carl Fogarty's 1992 lap record on the RC45 with an average speed of 124.45mph - from a standing start! A shredded rear tyre put paid to his efforts a couple of laps later :-(
For TT2000 Jim made different news with a very public and acrimonious split with Honda on the last day. The world awaits Jim's side of the story - or will it be heard in court first.
