Bike required - jasjas - 23-07-2006
Is there anywhere on the island I can hire/borrow a bike for an experienced rider who is coming over to the MGP from 24th - 31st August? Any information or ideas would be much appreciated.

I wish you luck with this!
I tried for months before the TT.
Dealers didnt even reply.
It would seem that they dont want the business.
You may be better off hiring on the mainland and coming over on it.
I am sorry if I sound negative and wish you well.
If you DO find something, I will be most interested to hear about it!

Sorry, I should have said. I am looking for a road bike for someone coming over to watch the races and anything would be considered, although something a bit off-roady would be good as we have half a mile of track to get down to the road. Thanks for the mainland suggestion though.

MV all pictures are welcome (I don't get that many :roll: )
We are all well. And just back for 4 days in Donegal. Buzz and Woody are both well and looking forward to the Manx. Mind you they've moved on now it's all Spiderman now
Sorry jasjas I made an error. I thought I recognised your username and put 2 and 2 together and got 5.

No problem Cargo - thanks anyway.

Cargo.
So I was right re the bike.
Did you notice how I apologised cos you are the racer and I naturally presumed that YOU would be right?!
Anyway good luck to anyone finding a road bike!
I will send you a bunch of pics from the TT and especially Castletown.
Do you have an email that i could use?

Gosh no racers are never right.
Perhaps there is a goods business opportunity hiring out road bikes :!:
