Hi All..!!

Another good thread..!! Keep in mind there was an increase in BIKES, those bikes are not going to be flown in...!

And if you want to know why the increase this year..?? (well part of it for sure)... is the BSA Group for the very first time in 50 years, held their International Rally on the IOM..!! See this article...

OK, so now is a GREAT laugh for you all, at the expense of some of my fellow Yanks... Some of the Yanks that came over with their bikes, had NO WETS with them..!! They had jeans and t shirts and tennis shoes..!!! They did get a nice daily sample of Manx Mud..!! (as did many of the racers camped in the pits...).

Cheers..!!! See you next year..!!!

Ron - I will need my fix of a morning BAP in the pits, the afternoon Beef Sandwich in the pits, and of course some of the fine pints all around the Island..... darn I have to wait about 50 weeks to do this again...!!
