Thanks for the Heads Up on the bookings John, never been able to book it this early before. Will get it booked over the weekend. You did well on the price it cost us £206 last year That said we do go out from Liverpool and back to Heysham to get the good sailing times. We can do either as we live about in the middle of the two. Will let you know what it costs me. Cheers.

Now that looks like a good venue for a group meet.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Thanks partly to this thread, I'm thinking of taking the Honda to the Manx and Classic TT, however it's not long after we get back from a trip to Canada, so it'll be just me and only for race days. The websites aren't a lot of help for actual race dates, they just give the dates for the whole fortnight.

Its a long while since I went to the Manx, in 1997 and I was in it, on a CB600 in the newcomers race. I notice now they keep the newcomers seperate from the experienced riders, as I dawdled round with my orange bib on, particularly in the mountain mist, I always worried that I would be in the way of someone going really quickly.

Looking at the 2016 schedule it looks like I could see all the Classic stuff if I did a long weekend, Friday to Monday, subject to the dodgy Manx weather, of course, so maybe come back Tuesday pm. I'm not that bothered about watching modern stuff race.

Booked now for the Classic TT, going for an extended weekend, out  Friday 25th August, back on Wednesday 30th, via Liverpool, which is good for me.

On my own, staying B&B in a farmhouse near Glen Mona, between Ramsey and Laxey. All being well I'll be taking the CB750, I hope I can meet some of you over there!

Anyone going to the Bristol Classis Motorcycle Show in Shepton Mallet tomorrow?   I'll be going on the BMW as my 400 is in dry dock.

Mike, I was aiming on going to Shepton Mallet on the Blackbird but having suffered a water leak in the bathroom during the week I'll have my head under the bath all day fitting new taps  :(. Have fun, if you come across anyone selling new CB250RS silencers let me know. A company called Classic Bike spares who make exhausts for brit bikes are now making them for early Japanese bikes. They have some nice silencers for the early CB twins. They make the headers for the RSA and should be making the silencers for springtime. I think they are at the show this weekend.
The Oxford meet up looks like a great idea.

Didn't see your reply until after I got back.  I did see a stand with a bloke that fabricates tanks and pipes/silencers.  I didn't have a close look but his work looks a good standard.
I'm getting too old for all riding in the cold weather malarkey,  I'm still trying to get warm hours later with a hot water bottle down my back.

Hope your plasterboard isn't too damaged.

My accommodation for the Manx has gone tits up, and the tourist board have been useless (they find me something then ring back and say it was a mistake - website not updated), so it looks like I'm camping somewhere.
