Hi Keith,
Welcome to the forum - that's a lovely looking Motosport, I very nearly bought one about 20 years ago but got pipped at the post and have regretted it ever since - very rare in that condition now.
One of our good friends, now in his 80's has moved back from Orkney to Mona's Isle, somewhere Laxey way, I think - John Wilford, very well known motorcyclist on the Island - TT marshal for many years.

Welcome Keith have you just restored that XL250KO - looks really nice.

[KeithM]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone, bike has not been restored, just well kept, a few bits need doing and replacing when I can around to it and if I can find some parts

Welcome to the forum Keith. Great looking bike👍.
The IOM is a great place, I just wish it was cheaper to get there on the ferry for the TT (and there were more hotels in which to stay). I was last there in 1999, it rained for two weeks solid, every race was postponed or cut short .

I've only been to the IoM once during practice week circa 1974 - back then there were a lot of quite old cars on the road - none seemed to have the rust that you would expect for their age.

A fantastic place - I actually drove almost 800 miles around that Island in a week! Some great Architecture as well as being strangely warm at the time compaired to the mainland.
