16 July 2008
At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Rizla Suzuki Team Manager Jack Valentine was reunited with David Jeffries 1999 TT winning Yamaha that made history after breaking Honda's 17 year winning domination of the TT Formula one race.

Many replicas of this machine that exist have been since masqueraded as the TT winner at numerous shows and exhibitions.
