I've just googled the Liver bird history......... I prefer the Bear version and I'm using it as often as I can from here on in

I don't believe a word of it Particularly the bit where you say you declined an invitation to a barbecue

Enjoyed that. Great photos of IOM and the bikes. Nice pics of the laydeez as well.

I thought you were insane - visiting without your bike. I was wrong !

Great pics , especially those from the top of the tower.

There's really no need to go to the TT by bike unless you want to race around the course like a twat. For me, it's about watching the real boys race their bikes and seeing how it's really done, plenty of beer, food and a good laugh with mates; your bike really is surplus to requirements.

Ramsey Sprint

Great read! The first pic you've put on of the Ramsey Sprint is 'manxgser' from this site. The picture you don't show is his bike later that day!
Told him his GS would have shrugged this incident off!
(He's fine by the way).

That may be you but it isn't me or thousands of others. You don't have to want to ride like a twat to take your bike.
It's transport to get you around the rest of the island, go to meets, exhibitions, ride outs, different viewing points etc. etc.
Of course, if it's what you did when you (if you ever did) did take your bike over then you are, indeed, wise to leave it at home.

Sorry, I can't. But the first ones not going to win on a scooter.....the second ones not got a bike at all and the last chaps taking his bird on the back so I doubt any of them are any good

Excellent write up BTW, emjoyed reading it very muchly

The Bear......I think that me and you were following each other around....BUT, I did miss the bint with the fancy backside (well remiss of me..and it will NOT happen again )...

Seems like you missed Bushy's ...Wednesday night....23:45...Young blond lass.....Pint in each hand....Utterly utterly smashed....Swaying around just in front of the stage, THEN keeled over, sort of a backwards Dellboy move as if she had hinges on her heels.....I just pissed myself......

I had a ticket for the Senior at the 'smashed up but not a mark on it grandstand' at the Creg'.....The word 'Insurance' springs to mind....

Bloody great wasn't it ??!!.......

The photo of soldier's statue with the Red Arrows in the background is one of the best I have ever seen on this website.
