Greetings from the Isle of Man

[cargo]

Landed here on the IOM late last night we're here for the Manx Grand Prix for which practise starts this coming Saturday.
I am of course riding my ZXR 400s and my ZX6R.

This morning we'll be setting up in the padock campsite and by tonight we'll be sweet and ready to go. That gives us a few days holiday before signing on and practise starting on Saturday evening.

I should imagine I'll try and keep you guys upto date with all the goings on here on Monas Isle as well as practise and racing we hope to go quad trail bike riding and sailing.......I've got my mountain bike with me so I'll be off out on that too. The swimming pool here is great so once my boys arrive on Thursday we'll be down there too. There's late night drinking too and a casino and the second best chinese takeaway in the world.


Anyone planning a holiday here for the Manx? I'm sure you'd get a good deal on the ferry for a short stay plenty of good campsites here.

Hope the weather is good

Lets get this party started

Good luck, dude!

Not sure if my mate Rob Cowburn is racing in the 600's this year... think he might have struggled to get it signed off plus he's got a wedding soon...

Enjoy it, dude, have a good time, a good few runs, and be safe.


Out of interest, have you a suction mount and a camera?

I'm over a week on thursday till the sunday. Just a visit for fridays practice and some partying and soaking up the atmosphere. My sisters fella is racing. Probably be a chap your racing against. Simon Perkin? he has a 675 and a sv650.

I'll be staying with them. Coming over on a brand spanker zx6r. Racing at Darley on the monday and the boat doesn't get us back till 11pm that sunday night. Should be fun as we are stripping the zx6r, putting the race fairings on and taking it racing prob 2 hours later minus sleep.

Good luck over there. Hope all goes well. I'll keep an eye out for you

I will be on the Isle during MGP - i live here.

Havent ever seen another ZXR400 over here when its not either TT or MGP so if you see a manx registered one it'll be me!!

[cargo]

Think I saw a zxr400 tonight................I was going the wrong way from paddock up to the Brandywell on my push bike.

Lovely day to day here on the IOM warm and sunny took my boys to the swimmers...................and then did all the sign on paper work and had my leathers boots etc checked

First practise is tomorrow (Sat) due to start at about 18.20..............can't wait.

For those that live on the coast near to the IOM you will be able to get some news via Manx radio on 1368am or from the Manx radio website where you can listen to it.
For race days Manx Radio will have live coverage.
