 | | Little did Mike Trimby know that when he saw a small story in the British newspaper Motor Cycle News in 1978 asking for riders to compete in the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix that year, that it would lead him to make the journey from England to Macau for the next 27 years. |
 | | Trimby was racing in some British and European events on his TZ750 Yamaha at the time, and he met up with the late Fred Merrill of the Hong Kong Automobile Association (HKAA) in the Isle of Man, where Merrill´s mother lived, during the TT races in June that year. |
 | | While some organisers continue to view the riders as a necessary evil that they have to put up with simply to run their races, the attitude of Macau is totally different and is the main reason that he is able to attract a very high quality entry. |
