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 .....

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.
