The whole Idea was to go after work. But I'm off this week ............... cuckoo.gif

I could have got the 1.00 ferry and had a relaxing afternoon putting the tent up.

Cheers, Ivan


I've decided to take tomorrow off as well now but notice there are now a few of us on that boat so will see you all there at 5.45ish.

If you need a tent (or anyone needs a tent), I have the daughters supposedly 2man tent, really only good for one person. I'm only 10mins away.
MotoGuzzi Norge 1200GT. for Euro touring
Triumph Street Triple. For those hooligan moments......
Beta Alp 200. For falling off In muddy bits.
I suffer from C.D.O. It's like O.C.D. but all the letters are in the correct order, just as they should be.

No problem. If you're planning on doing a lap 1st thing off the ferry, get your warm gear on. Just got back from a ride, ended up turning on the heated grips, chilly out of the sun. Have a good trip over, see you Friday.

Hi Lads,
Got back home for 3am. Fecking windy coming down the M6! shocked.gif shocked.gif

Just want to say.................. A BIG THANK YOU to all the guys that went to the Isle of Man. You were so understanding.
After my bad news, it really cocked up the weekend. My Mum is a lot better today and is being monitored by the doctor.
I really enjoyed it and intend a return visit next year, possibly for the Manx.

My brother has decided to sell his car ( A porsche Boxster that never goes anywhere!) and get another bike, he kept raving about a ZZR1100! ...... RESULT!!!

I hope you guys really enjoyed it as much as I did.

Once again, Thank You!

Just to say we hope your Mum continues to improve Steve

Many thanks to everybody especially Manx900 (Paul) and Mrs Manx900, whose hospitality and cake, at an absolutely stunning location, was hugely appreciated. The view from your house (and even the garage!) was tremendous.

Look forward to next time

I have just posted new thread with pictures

Thank You! I rang my mum a couple of hours ago and she is a lot better.
Shame my brother won't buy a TDM, he likes mine, but he found it a bit too tall to get on and off. I struggle, but I am willing to put up with that! He says he thought you guys were a great bunch and wished we could have spent more time with you. We sat chuckling in his van listening to you lot snoring. It was like being in the Everglades with a load of bull frogs! Best bit was, you were all synchronised!!!!! rotflmmfao.gif rotflmmfao.gif

Just to say, there were other issues that persuaded me to come home early. I was not my usual jovial self!
I know it looked like me and my brother kept apart from you, but it was family stuff and didn't want to dampen the mood, if you get my drift!
My own adopted son did a runner on Thursday night, and came back next morning, my wife was stressed out over it coz I was away, and the other kids might play up as well. He is also bailed to appear on the 4th, after committing an offence 2 days before I was due to sail to the Isle of Man......picks his moments.......

Any way...... love the pics by Manx 900, mine are on facebook but I think you have to be my "friend" to view them. Mine are typical "holiday" snaps! laugh.gif
I will upload them to Photo Bucket later.

I got home, 5.55pm.

Mrs was on the computer and I did not want to piss her off.

Especially since I had such a brilliant time, drinking Laughing and play with Motorbikes and 115mph !!

while she has been here on her own.

Post some pictures tomorrow.

What a great week-end.

Cheers, Ivan
