Have you booked first class? Quieter area with bigger comfy seats and better spacing between them. Also waiter service, The coffee used to be included in the price which is £12 extra. This can be booked as you get on the boat.
I usually can get a good nights kip doing this and arrive much fresher than sitting on the main deck.

Do you fancy meeting up on mad sunday or later in the week, I warn you I managed to hit a wall last time out on mad sunday!

PS brother also has an srx so he may join us and he knows the track much better than I do, so could be worth following.

He was with me when I crashed but he was following me, all he could think of was what was he going to tell my mrs.

meet up whenever you like......if our last mad sunday is anything to go by it might be difficult.......we started out trying toget a complete lap in about 7 (am) finally succeeded about 3pm so many stoppages for mad bu55ers throwing themselves up the road (cars as well!) i think one of blokes hit a wall....................hehe
drop me a line with your mobile number and i'll give you a bell.
No, not booked first class, didn't think they had one.....don't remember seeing it in the seacat thingy we went over on last time.
So.....what did you tell the missus???

Try http://www.steam-packet.com/SteamPacket/Book-Now/Seat-Upgrades/
I always find I am fresh for a good days riding after but not sure how long you are on the ferry for it top be worth while. Still bring your own dvd of 2006tt to watch on their DVD player is a good way to remember the course!

try 07861310139

I managed 7 laps before I felt I was getting to tired and I might do something reallllly stupid

Sorry about holding you up

Told SWMBO 4 days later no need to let her worry! told her it was a racing incident.

I always go to the grandstand for the church service at 9am ish so perhaps meet up afterwards for a coffee/ breakfast early run etc might be a good idea.

Church service at 9.30am so how about meeting at the grandstand at 10-1030am we could make it an official club meet. Also could try to post on http://www.iomtt.com/TT-2007/Social-Calendar/Social-CalendarP4.aspx to make it look important. HA HA HA!!!

Yup.  I'll be on the Island from 2 - 9th.  Staying somewhere in Douglas so when I find out whats going on and have a suitable bike actually legal and working I'll flag it up.
