Welcome

Thanks for that, I'll give them a phone call tomorrow.

The problem is finding somewhere to park the van. I'm using my Vito as a camper van but I can't get an answer out of Braddan Bridge Campsite over whether they'll allow me to do so. Most places want me to pitch a tent instead. Pennybridge Campsite at Kirk Michael are happy for me to use the van, and ...

Welcome from another Exeter-based biker!

Time for this thread to make like Jesus and get resurrected.

So with 80-odd days to who's going, and when?

I'm there for two weeks, probably staying near Kirk Michael village.

Don't tell her in the first place?*

*Admittedly this is easier if you have somewhere else to keep the bike, and have time to ride it. Such as working 80-odd miles from home and staying over where you work a lot.

Fraid I'm definitely not going to make it - can't get a shift swap at work

It's looking doubtful for me - I start work at 0920 in Exeter and don't finish until gone 1800. Got a few people left to try and swap with though.

This.

I did my DAS on a Versys 650, I loved riding it. Got more than enough 'go' to be entertaining and very comfortable. Bear in mind that when you're sat on it, you don't have to look at it....

1. Billinomates (track r1)
2. Boylard100 (track zx6r)
3. Farmermatt (zx6r) Bet you all thought i'd bring the tractor.
4. SWTH (Sprint ST 1050) - provided I either have the day off or it fits around work on the 18th.

Can't do the 4th.

Nowt wrong with a good 125 - I find my Vara an excellent alternative to the Triumph for fun days on B-roads.

I'm booked to travel on 1st - 15th of June. Happy to have the extra couple of days and let the stampede go on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday!

Cheers, still enjoyed it though!

Did think four quid for a cheeseburger was a bit steep though....

Well, I'm here, doesn't look too bad!

Had an email drop in my inbox today about a bike night at Bridge Motorcycles tomorrow evening, anyone else here going?
