The new rock group F&M are not welcome on the Isle of Man, and rightly so. However the Manx Govt are putting out messages encouraging all F&M's groupies to attend the TT festival, with club meetings, Red Arrows etc.
They are inviting all except the band itself.
If this decision has been made in an attempt to curb F&M then they should really be restricting all visitors?

In my capacity as a veterinary consultant to the Chinese Space Agency we once investigated F&M on Mars, so I really haven't a clue.

Let's hope the Manx goes ahead or they let us know now and I can put a cover over the bike for the rest of the year!

Bye for now

Sad news the TT is OFF let's hope for the greatest
Manx GP ever and no debates on whether Manx will
be OFF. Lets hope if they need to call off Manx
it's sooner rather than later, only time will tell.
Let's see some of you Manx riders on board!!
I received my official ride on Friday, roll on
Manx GP>

Cargo,

Good to hear you've got a start in the U L'Weight, I presume on a 400 (Kawa?) not a 125!
Have you got the Junior entry too I presume?

Since the ULW goes with the LW I'll tell you where a number of unscrupulois riders are alleged to stash some spare juice around the circuit (just in case).

Will we see you at Scarborough, we're heading up for the full weekend.

See ya soon

Gav

Does anyone have any spare MGP badges or would like to swap them for any other bike badges, like
NW200, TT, UGP badges.
I am looking for particular dates from the 70's and 80's.
Does anyone now when the MGP badges started.

On this sunny Easter day, my thoughts turn to Joey for a moment. I realize that his brief presence in this world was a blessing to the many he inspired.If the world could learn anything from his life, it would be:
Never stop trying
Be humble in your victories,but stay fierce at heart, in order to reach your goals.
There will be good & bad in many things that come one's way.Know how to maximize on the good, that will help minimize the bad.

Live your days knowing you will not be here forever. Live your nights knowing that you've been granted one more day to live.
Acts of kindness are the basis of a fulfilled life.
Never take anything for granted.
True Heroes never think they are...

Godspeed Joey

Does anyone know Roy Garnett, from Liverpool, who used to race a CR93?

Yes spring is here and not many of you on the Manx GP message board.
Not long now before enteries are officially sent out to confirm your ride.
So if you haven't done it yet closing date is 8 June.
Ferries long booked in, camping in paddock? with caravan don't forget to write to planning so
they agree you can park up in the paddock.
Come on guys n dolls lets hear from you.

I'm not religous but with all the road race cancelations here in Ireland I can only hope and pray that the Manx is on this year. :-(

Hi
Has anyone got a bike that I could borrow on behalf a freind of mine who needs some more signatures for his National Licence so that he can compete in the MGP this year.
The idea is that he can come and get 2 meetings in at Jurby over the weekend.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Please contact me either via e-mail or phone 07977 806323 it is a mobile so I will call you straight back.
Cheers
Russ

Is anybody out there?
Have you all got fed up and buggered off?

My name is Ann Anderson. I am a dedicated Joey fan, I am have followed Joey for many years. I have watched from afar as Joey struggled to become Northern Ireland's greatest sporting hero. Not only for his many sporting victories but also for the tourism he brought to NI, not to mention his renound work that he has done for so many charties throught the world, which he never sought any self praise. I belive that Joey deserves a Posthumous Knighthood, as I am sure that many others do. Myself and my friend Jade Gribben, have started a campain to try to acheive this. We have already received a reply from Buckkingham Palace and 10 Downing street.We need your help!in order for this to be achieved. Under the instructions of 10 Dowing Street, on our petition each entry must be accompanied by the persons real name and a verifiable address. If you are willing to help, please forward the relative details to Joey's Knighthood
