My wife and I are so disappointed not to be coming this year. We've been 2014,2015,2016 and 2017 on our faithful VFR800. Sadly, my (not terribly elderly) mother is in poor health and we've moved her in, so TT 2018 scuppered ! Never mind !

Hope you all have a fabulous time. There is nothing like coming off the boat, and being back on the island again. We have stayed close to Ballacraine for the last 2 years and, being an early bird (wife in bed) I'd do a lap every morning, leaving around 6.30am. Love Ballacraine through Glen Helen, further thru' Kirkmichael, Quarry Bends and Sulby, to coffee in Parliament Square around 7am, and then the old 1998 VFR nudging 140 + up the mountain mile. Great stuff !

Cheers Damon PS. We'll be back !
