Yes, some "fond" memories. Somewhere, I've got a 35mm colour slide taken in 1967, of my Bonneville strapped to to deck of the "MANXMAN".
It was on the the "MANXMAID" ramp that I stalled the same bike, loading at Douglas, all because I must have shut off the fuel tap during the "TANK PUMPED OUT" operation.
Happy DAZE.
