More Music for an Early Morning Practice Chara - John Foster - 02-04-2007 Suggestions are invited and here are a few ideas for starters ( to follow "The Wheels on the Bus"): http://www.netsoc.ucd.ie/~justy/craic.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmkBQYiOadA http://www.psci.net/~jmarsh/hotel.html Click "Life in the Fast Lane" Steve Gibbons Band - TT '92 PS Cargo is 4th from the left below. - John Foster - 03-04-2007 ...........and Ian Huntly is the small boy looking out of the window. Ya Jokin' - ian huntly - 03-04-2007 WHY AYE MAN..... Aa were there with me Dad and he is in that pitchure an'arl.. He's tarl alike ar is nu .... (Geordiespeak) REPRISE - ian huntly - 03-04-2007 Time to have another look at :- http://www.bbhmg.com/TTpicu.htm - John Foster - 03-04-2007 http://hurl.samples.dmpcontent.com/scripts/hurl.exe?clipid=062867601010006900&cid=600109 - DCLUCIE - 04-04-2007 Don't know why everyone is taking the mick out of John's photo of the actual bus being used. Apparently its ment to make the feeling of early morning practice a little more like it was back in the good old days. I will of course refute any suggestion that the bus is the same year as Cargo's 400...... but then again by the looks of it, it must be close. I will also back my good freind if anyone suggests that his lap time on this bus might be better than his 400 time, and eventually get him that rep he so deserves. :wink: - larryd - 04-04-2007 Hi Dave - welcome from the winter hibernation! How's Willie? Last Time - ian huntly - 04-04-2007 It is some years since I did a real good bus tour of the Island. It used to be a regular thing to do in the days before people brought cars and motorcycles to the TT. We had mystery tours and day trips to Port Erin and Port St.Mary !! The TT course was a whole day and we stopped in Ramsey to take on water, fuel and pemmican.... Frankly I'm looking forward to coming on the organised early morning practice simulation !.. Now see http://www.ianhuntly.co.uk/busstur.htm and digest...... The photo shows one trip we did a few years back which was unfortunately terminated when the bus threw a fetlock up on the mountain. We tried to take the back road down from Brandywell to the west side of the course. We ended up eating the driver and got back to Douglas three days later..The bus is still in the middle of the Island with trees, bushes and other vegetation growing through the floorboards... Hope you are well John.......Bring tools ! - thewitch - 04-04-2007 That is just fabulous! I love it! Ooooh...Malcolm... are you bringing your tools and the survival kit... Och, you'll be all right, Cargo and I are marshals... nothing fazes us.. - DCLUCIE - 04-04-2007 Hi Larry, hows things going? Looking forward to seeing you and everyone at the pre tt classic. Yeh the old man (and I must clarify its my dad we are talking about and not any part of my anatomy, I just know what some of you are like eh John? :wink, is well and will be at all of the races as normal. - thewitch - 04-04-2007 I think I'll take a holiday somewhere safe.... - larryd - 04-04-2007 Nowhere, but nowhere, safer than the Billown paddock, Helen :!: - DCLUCIE - 05-04-2007 Will be in the normal spot I think Larry, so will see if I can have a few beers with you sometime during the few days. Would be good to catch up with you, and as for the paddock being somewhere safe.... lol those scrutineers can be a little vicious at times :wink: , they all know I am kidding and are good for those cups of tea and a little battenburg (have no idea how to spell that) lol But I hope if anyone see's me doing the checks before scrutineering please say hi as I would love to put some faces to the the names. Most of all have fun..... - MV - 06-04-2007 Pamela and I will be parked (in the Bongo, of course. Its a silver camper van to the unitiated!) in the small area by the start line. So, look us up. Will wear my MV t-shirt, of course! MV from 1907 - ian huntly - 06-04-2007 From 'Motor Cycle' June 5th 1907 I want a motor cycle but cannot quite decide between the rival merits of the Fairy and the Clyde the Singer and The Bradbury the Matchless and F.N the Norton, Kerry, Rip and Rex the BAT and Phanomen I sometimes think an N.S.U would suit me to a T but later on I feel inclined to purchase a G.B. Again my fancy hesitates and covets very much a Quadrant or a Clarendon or a REX with metal clutch At other times, to my idea by far a better way would be to get an L and C or say, an L and K but these selections are in turn before the day is over relinquished, and their places filled by a two-speed Phelon-Moore I wobble thus and hesitate but can't make up my mind I read the 'Motor Cycle' and much good advice I find But it doesn't seem to help me for really - to be frank I'VE NOT A BLESSED COPPER IN MY POCKET OR THE BANK So what's changed in 100 years ??? Reproduced from Nick Harriss superb book "Motocourse History of the TT Races" Anyone recognise these bikes from 1907 ??? - DCLUCIE - 07-04-2007
