A quick update... picked up the bike this (Monday) morning... got a big hooorahh.. at the ferry boat, but finally got them to help me... got to the IOM around 2 pm, went right to the paddock... and yes made a lap of practice..!

I even got to meet up with some of the racers I met last year..!!

Thanks for all those wishing me well.... and a GREAT MGP to all..!!!

Cheers..!

Ron - life really s good..!!

I finally was able to confirm my racer is on English soil... but near London, it is supposed to be transported to Manchester by truck this evening, and clear customs tomorrow (Sunday). But they most likely will NOT let me pick up the bike until Monday after 6:30 am. IF things go well, I will make the mid day ferry sailing, and just might make practice on Monday. The weather forecast for Monday looks BRILLIANT..! Worst case, I take the 7 pm sailing.... So much drama for one race bike..!!! I guess it better go good this year..!! Thank you for the help offer...! I hope to get someone to get my spares on to the ferry, while I take the bike... if not, then the spares stay in Liverpool until I can get them brought over..

So, how did the first practice go...??

Cheers..!!
