Isle of Mann sorted, thanks to Rocket Rob :thumb:

Now to work on two nights on Northern Ireland before taking the ferry from Larne to Cairnryan.

The rest of the trip is pretty much freedom riding, not knowing how far I can ride in a day, what with the summer season,narrow roads & the numerous cages out to get a biker and finally, not needing to meet any deadlines ie ferries timetables etc. It's gunna be different that's for sure,

Gee, riding gear takes up a lot a space, but all packed.

12hrs to departure, getting excited.

Cheers

Sure was a round about way to Matlock, not quite catching Pict at several planned spots before he unfortunately ran out of energy and had to stay with his sister in law near Ripley.

Apart from the GPS going flat, Studleys bike is a dream to ride.

Only came across another TDM rider roaring past me near Matlock, turned out to be the man of steel himself, stainless that is and a real ale was had by all. :drinks:

did you notice tour frame bungs on it Lee ?

 

Kym, got an idea what's wrong with the TomTom charging - unplug the poet lead from the cradle & check the two pins inside the cradle socket haven't pushed in.

If one of them has, then pull it out with a pair of long nosed pliers & re-connect. - I bet it starts charging again

Hi Kym,

I see you're going to be in Aberlour from 15-20 and are planning to meet up with Nanook. I'm in Tomintoul which is just down the road from Aberlour. I'll try and get a hold of Joe and come up with him but any day he's busy and you want someone to have ride with let me know, I've not got much planned for that week
