Bike looks at home there, you must have been proud.

Dont know if im just getting to be an old duffer but prefer classic having been to both. A bit more accessible and can relate to the bikes more. Not so much happening other than bikes at classic however, which is where the main event does score.
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Yes if they could get the extras that come with the TT added on to the Classic it would be the worlds best motorcycling event, Jurby is excellent too, I think the Classic is ideal to add into a family holiday as it's at the right time of year for good weather and the island is very scenic with good beaches, both really good in their own right though.

They are doing around 170mph here having just taken the bend on the Sulby straight, a few yards down the road the top riders are hitting 200mph.
