Whats the plan, are you going for a ride on the Friday? I have the day off work, & would like to meet up with you. SWMBO has said she'll bake cake if you want to come round at some point, only about 5 miles from Cronk Dhoo.
Also, make arrangements to meet up in Peel on the Saturday night if you're still going?

That early, straight-off-the-ferry, lap has to be done Neil!
By the time you get back to CronkDhoo we should be surfacing so be ready for you to join us for coffee
Then maybe we can all go down to Peel for breakfast on the harbour like last year at RTT:
What do you think?

I have to agree with Tonydevil, BD and Pete !
yes, we should go to the harbour for one of those manditory all in breakfasts, but not at 5.45 am.
I need the three S's first.
If your there at that time Neil, give me a knock, I'm in the tent with the Black 900 outside....
come round and have a coffee in the bunk house, while we all getting up.
Pete is normaly up at that time, emptying his bag and trying to find someone to talk to .....

A Bit of topic ! Only just ? 
Yes, Short arse's and 900s dont mix unless you modify the seat or the suspension links, or wear high heels.I have a 31" leg and I struggled, took 1" off the seat and narrowed it. Now I am sitting with both feet flat on the floor.
I could have kept wearing the High Heels, but my skirt kept flipping up above 50mph.
