Lucky man!
Hope the weather gets better. looks like it'll be a cracking start to the season with Derek Sheils on pole, Michael 2nd, and Guy out to prove the new bike at 5th.

You will really enjoy the MGP dommyman I can fully recommend it, we're doing a few days during practice week at the TT but really looking forward to the Manx. We're taking a Benelli 500 and 350 as we have booked some track time at Jurby.
top bikes too!
hi Kezzr!
Hoping to get across to the Manx/Classic TT, for a 'long' weekend again this year, foot soldiering.
bizarre to think you two were stopping within 100yards of each other last year!
ok, at slightly different times!

At risk of getting in to trouble,
(but not really a get together Malcolm?) now riding down from Central Jockland on Wed 3rd to catch the 6:15 from L/pool.... so getting an extra day on the Island thx to SP. If there are other singles or otherwise riding down that day, drop me a line. Packing, not yet thought about it, need to print off my handy checklist and pack too much and forget something as usual, like one of the 4 TT radios I have bought over the years! May bring the lot and hand in to Charity shop on the Island, if batteries have survived?
Checked the garage and my bike is still there......so halfway there....need to check when MOT due though, thanks for the reminders folks.
ps SteveVTR.....Sorry to hear about your bike getting nicked....bummer.

DVD nights have started, books are out and I'm getting ready.
Almost ready to pack too!
Has stroller made it across to this forum for the build up pics?
RE: TT build up - rubyhorse - 30-04-2015
bike is all sorted, new tyres, mot and service. Fitted pillion pegs and seat and its time for the wife to be scared s##tless while she perches on the smallest highest seat ever on a sportsbike..all good fun though.
Been watching TT videos on youtube for the past month now, the excitement has started for sure.

RE: TT build up - Steady the Edward - 30-04-2015
yes those 360 shots of the pits in the last week to 10 days are good and becoming a very looked forward part of the build up , and the final reminder that if you aren't ready you are in deep poo poo
it's like the count down in the photo section , you watch them thinking thats a good one ooooo look at that , what's that Sparks doing now ! where's the number ? then all of a sudden you look and think eh up !! how many days 35 oh SH-- I am no where near ready , will I ever make it in time ??
how ever did I manage when I used to work 60+ hrs a week ( ok for those on here that know me too well !! I turned up for 60 + hrs ! don't be cruel ) lol
