Get of the boat and via left, go straight across the roundabout (away from the harbour) follow the road until you join the TT course at Quarter Bridge, (you`ll go through three sets of lights and a couple of pelican crossings...I think?) and follow the course until you get to the taffic lights at Ballacraine. GO STRAIGHT across the traffic lights and about 200yrds you`ll see Tynwald Hill on your right and a pub opposite, turn left at the pub and the football club is just down there on your left ..... good luck ;)

I reckon ss350. It'll be a real headturner/scratcher :)

I remember Dave Taylor attempting to wheelie around the 37 3/4 mile course in the 70`s but this year Dougie Lampkin`s going to give it a go ... should be worth a look 8)

Hello,
I am going over on 25th till 30th. I will be staying in Douglas. Me and a mate on a brace of leaky old featherbeds.
Always at glenlough before, a good spot. Not been for 10 years, so looking forward to it.
Drop me a pm to meet up around the island?
Cheers
Andy

Practise not going well, red flags and Mannin's cloak playing havoc! :( Listening to Manx Radio. Heavy drizzle and 13°C here in Perthshire!
Lougher on the Honda Hailwood RC181 replica, for the ClassicTT Senior after blowing up £250,000 worth of replica MV triple, with a hole in a piston should sound magical coming over the Mountain! ;D
With you all in thought, if not in deed. I hope the weather improves for the racing and that you all have a grand time. ;)
Keep it upright, Bill

Keep an eye out for Dan Hegarty,he's a mate of mine.

Hi spooky, good to see you`re safely back home. Good to meet you and Tim, I passed Tim on the road today heading in the opposite direction and guess what ..... two bikes ahead was you!!! Well, after texting Tim, I realize it wasn`t you but another SS .... must be the one you`re talking about !!!! Anyway, looks like the weather`s turning, raining here now so looks like you picked the best days! Check these out .....

thanks for the link to the photos, i spent ages looking for them but didnt know what time/place to check, will send to my pals, thanks

Yes Spooky, you and Derrick are famous. Great to meet up with yourself, and your mates, and try and track down that other SS350. Also Steve, enjoyed our dander round the pits on Friday. Also Andy, who has been absent from here for a while, but rode from London on a racing Norton, which he had to bump start everywhere, with his mate Isaac, on another Norton, which hed lent him! Will we ever forget seeing MD ploughing that big Suzuki, nose first into the tarmac, at ever increasing angles, off Ballaugh Bridge! Also Tommy, who I only saw very briefly at Jurby, when hed just arrived, and also my other Dublin mate, Pete, who was over, two up, on his well used Vincent Comet. So, yes, put it in your diary for next year, as despite its problems, the MGP/Classic is fkn brilliant.
