RE: Well, how good was that then
I watched..
Sunday - Between Ginger Hall and Sulby Bridge
Monday- Rhencullen
Tuesday- Hillberry
Wednesday- Glen Helen
Friday- Gorselea.
Sad for Michael Dunlop for his bad luck
Frustrated for Guy Martin. 133mph lap and still no win.
Happy for Hutchy getting that demon off his back
Big smile for JMcG for showing that being older counts for nothing when it matters, and reminded me of what Joey done in 2000
I never got one run over the Mountain as everytime I got to Ramsey, it was closed ( The Mountain, not Ramsey)
I got to thinking that I was the jinx for closing the Mountain!
There SEEMED to be less bikes, and more cars about than previous years, and a lot more people on push bikes.
I had a nice chat with a couple of Dutch blokes and six Italian blokes, all first timers, and all on bikes.
Supprised by the amount of people watching with neither a radio or a programe.
Due to the racing on the Sunday and Tuesday, I missed the Ramsey Sprint both days, and the vintage tractor show in Port Erin, which I love.
Thursday down at the Sound/ Calf Of Man was grid locked. I have never seen so many people down there. The Cafe must have thought Christmas had come early with the size of the que to get in.
It was a rough crossing on the Mannanan on the way over on the Friday night, and I had flash backs to the good old days of The Lady Of Man and the King Orry.
Watching Douglas disappear into the distance on the way home alway makes me feel a bit sad, partly because it is all over for another year, and partly thinking of the souls who wont be comming home with us.

If you want something bad enough, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse
