Veteran dealer and former road racer Steve Linsdell, proprietor of leading Bedfordshire Yamaha franchisee Flitwick Motorcycles, is returning to the 2015 Isle of Man’s Classic TT with another star-spangled team.
Keeping it in the family, his 27-year-old son Olie Linsdell will run Steve’s unique short-stroke Seeley Royal Enfield Bullet in the Bennetts-backed 500cc Senior race. Aboard the Enfield, which already claims fame as the only British pushrod single to ever achieve a 100mph lap on the TT Mountain Course, he is aiming to break the 110mph lap barrier this year.
And the team’s Paton eight-valve twin, on which Olie set lap and race records when he won the event in 2013, will be campaigned again by 10-times TT winner Ian Lougher. Favourite to take 500cc laurels after his victory on this bike last year, Lougher is targeting Olie’s as-yet unbeaten class records.
Flitwick MCs is also fielding Olie on a Honda K4 twin in the Okells 350cc race and a Yamaha FZ750 in the Motorsport Merchandise Formula One post-classic event.
