Airhead trundle in the Isle of Man

[piebaps]

You never get too far away from the TT Course. Druidale valley leads to Ballaugh Bridge

Not quite a raging torrent, but the deepest I could find

Great pictures Dave, What a lovely old Airhead

Ramsey Rugby Club and what's that in the background? I do believe that may be Snaefell from yet another angle

Needs more pictures of old shonker blocking scenery.

Ride over and back in Ramsey. The day ends just how it started, with a decision to be made! Chippy tea or the chinese takeaway next door?

I've eaten from that Chinese......very nice


Dave. does it ever get claustrophobic living on the Isle of Man?

Not really Chris. If I wasn't so mad busy all the time I might notice in more.

September to May is rugby season and as well as doing local newspaper and radio coverage, I'm also the groundsman at my club.

During the summer, outside of TT and MGP is when I struggle, hence going out for a wee trundle.

Most people find the idea of the place small but shortly after arriving fall into the local trap of refusing to go anywhere. The place is only 32 miles long but try and get someone to drive 10 miles to a restaurant or a pub and they all say "I can't be bothered going all the way there!". Wierd phenomena but heard very often.

Forgot to add that the crime rate is always a big compensator for the lack of size. Just renewed bike insurance for the GSA and the airhead. £219 fully comp for the pair.

Don't get me started on the price of petrol though

My last renewal was £240 for six bikes and I live in Nottingham, highest rate of gun crime in the UK allegedly

I really must come over some time soon, I've only been once and that was to pick up a bike from the ferry car park - must of been on the island for all of 30 minutes!

Isle of Man is massive! Try living on Jersey which is only 9 miles by 5miles. Anywhere more than 5 miles away is a long way. Its enough to drive anyone insane. Oh, hang on, it did.

Loved the Isle of Man, must try to get back over there again soon.

Great Airhead pictures.
