So a few on here are going to the IOM soon. Who is going, how long for, and where you staying? I'm at Ballamoar Campsite at Ballaugh from Wed 24th to Sunday 4th.

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

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!

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
