Manx radio have just said the road is now open

With the price of diesel now I think I might carry a bucket around after a load of lorries next week to make a bit of extra cash

On the subject of fuel .....

You never know ....

Aawwwwwwwwww.........EVERY year........you'd think they could give the bikers 4-5 weeks, that's all we ask

More money than sense I say

Have a safe one everyone - good thing about the rain, we can see the rainbow effect of the diesel

Not a lot really.It is strange that you can almost guarantee that something will happen at TT time, and stranger still that nobody is ever seen spilling it.I would just love to get my hands on them

Heard of spills around the Glen Helen area as well.

I spotted (saw the fuel spewing out along the road) and shopped a spiller during last year's TT. A professional (?) tourist coach.

SHOP A SPILLER!

There will be no spillage from the Early Morning Practice Bus!!

People or Diesel?

I anticipate complaints as the noise of laughter may be excessive, due to our star presenters, Roy Hanks and Dave Wells... the Morecambe and Wise of sidecar racing!



Thanks to Tom for this cracking picture of the dynamic duo in full flight.
Thanks also to Roy and Dave for doing this, and ALSO... for giving up their precious practice time to help out newcomers on their first, probably terrifying, lap of the TT course. You are real stars, boys.
