A great Manx trip this year, and better for an OAP, than the TT.
Mountain section was not one way as at TT but, I thought, actually better as there were no cones and if you are only a road rider it's more intuitive anyway.
Vintage shows, museums, presentations, classics and of course the racing practice were all fun to experience, and many thanks to Paul B (Manx1200) for meeting up and sharing local knowledge.
Here are a few pictures but lots more ( if you want to see 'em) on my FB page ...

I have always preferred the Manx, get more enthusiasts attending and a little more laid back.
For a challenging summer try the
Round Britain Rally.....

Hi Pete , great pics and wish I could get there one year (Bucket List) . I have a thread going about chain flex and when I saw your 1st pic it seems you aint got much flex in yours, do you have any problems at all?
Thanks Rich

This is as trusted Yamaha dealer set when I collected the bike. All dealers seem to set 25mm at services and I usually remind/insist or reset myself, but on this occasion left it as all running ok.
But I agree with everyone else .... it SHOULD be 50mm.
