Yes Jono. It was a fab weekend but you haven’t told all about the 5* hotel you arranged

, Where the taxi you had arranged turned out to be a white transit with a matteress in the back

, that took use back to the local commune to pitch our tent with 20 others who were all bikers

however they were a great bunch but we joined them sitting around the camp fire well pissed and smoking the night away on their wacky backy so that they could get up early Sunday morning to do 130 mph around the IOM.

But leaving all that aside a was a great Weekend ribbing

and the display put on for mad sunday were outstanding, i CAN RECOMEND IT TO ANY ONE LOOKING ANY ACTION PACKED WEEKEND

Jono. It was only 106 nm home because you took the long way round, we made a lot shorter than that!!!!!
