Beavers TT Talk

2nd Onchan’s Thursday Beavers recently had a visit from their very own TT Rider – Richard ‘Milky’ Quayle! Milky Quayle, a Beaver parent, talked to the Colony about his experiences of racing in the TT. He showed them some of the equipment used for racing – helmets, gloves, leathers & boots – both old and new - and the Beavers were allowed to try some of these items on for size! Everyone was very excited about the racing bike. Milky Quayle explained some of the important features of the bike and showed the Beavers how to keep a low riding position when racing. The highlight was probably the famous TT Trophy which Milky Quayle won in the Lightweight 400cc race in 2002. The talk finished with a few noisy revs as Milky Quayle started up his motorbike! This visit also meant we could complete our fifth SILVER challenge -the letter R for racing!
