It's all starting to happen. I'm installing the generators for the snooze box site in Nobles park tomorrow. Weathers starting to warm up now, had a good run yesterday with Ivan & the RoSPA crew. 6 days to go.
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.

Wednesday
Low cloud and mist or fog lingering but with the chance of some warm sunshine, especially inland and towards the north.
Thursday
Staying dry. Still some mist, fog & low cloud at first but with sunny intervals developing. Light winds.
Friday
Dry with sunny spells and a freshening east wind. Becoming very warm in places sheltered from the breeze.
Saturday
Dry with spells of sunshine but still a fairly fresh easterly wind. Very warm again in sheltered spots
Looking good so far
Dave, bring the superten. I may be able to get further off road than you then.

This TT Taster could even be a future mini RTT
- cheap IoM ferry at £99 bike and rider
- masses of homestay (or other) accommodation ( as it's not TT race week)
- Pre TT races to watch
- enjoy build up to TT with committed ( or tight-budget) other TT goers
- TT Practice to watch in evenings
- wander about the paddock in comfort
- TT course and glorious roads ( and off roads) of the Isle of man to enjoy
Maybe TT 2013?
