Out and about on the Isle of Man. Really good weather for a change.

Point of Ayre on the Northern most tip of the Island. Next land mass, Scotland.

Parked up at Port Erin.

Wouldn't be the same without a cup of tea now would it. A beautiful wooded spot on the slopes of Snaefell.

Back to the hotel for yet more tea. My mate calls it the "Teapot Grand Prix".

Can't beleive that Roy I parked the car in the exact bay you have in Port Erin. It was raining though but we were on the way back to the airport.

I saw this lovely 750 racer at a trackday at Assen on Monday.

Not a 750 unless its been over-bored. Looks a bit like a 650 engine although I'm no expert on them.

If it's a Pukka racer I think I would do a bit better on the brake front.

Really nicely turned out bike though, a credit to it's owner. Shame all race bike aren't as good as that.

Got me thinking about the next project now, that's quite inspiring. A plan is hatching.

my thoughts are an 550,

 would be nice with four pipes,black or chrome,


 always prefer 60's style racers with 4 L/S drum fronts

but,yes,its very tidy

[Lynx]

Yes good point. I assumed it was a 750 but actually does look more like a 550 and it was quite slow on the track. It had a Dutch owner but I never managed to catch up with him.

I know, I know, it's not a SOHC Honda  SORN'd Hettie, the 400/4 the other day, so had to take the Thundercat out today. Lovely warm, sunny ride up to Beachy Head. Although it didn't feel like it, I actulally did just under 4000 miles on Hettie this year, totally drama free and good fun. Need to start packing bikes and bits up soon ready for the move up to the Lincolnshire Wolds, so lots of new roads to investigate next year, which I'm looking forward to very much.

  I did say 'Wolds' John, so there are hills, OK, they may not be much higher than speed ramps compared to what you have over your way of course. Anyway, I have purchased a new Ordinance Survey map so I can navigate around the hills if I feel the need and the 400/4 starts struggling with the inclines.

Who's lovely little SOHC 250 is that
