Hi Ian (and all), I was hoping that I would have had a bike out there racing this year and I still hope to do that albeit in the Southern and the Manx. I have spoken to Chris Palmer and offered him my bike for both meetings and if all goes well once it is here, then hopefully we should see a TTWebsite bike at these meetings.

I am staying in a hotel near the Hilton,(Onchan end) and will be in a few places around the Island myself.

I shall be wearing a black and red short sleeved shirt with the TTwebsite logo on it, so anyone on here who spots me, is obviously more than welcome to say hello and share a beer or two.

Best of luck to everyone, safe riding and hopefully a great meeting to come.
