Now TT is over we thought it time to post a Manx GP thread. We are booked to arrive Tues 20th August and leave August Bank Holiday Monday. Let's have some chat and hopefully some fab people might just get to meet, whether that be socially or for fun. It all starts with a nice respectful introduction message

Hopefully a bit warmer than last week at TT. We need sun and warmth at Manx then maybe we can get a little naughty in the woods while on the rock

Did you manage to get cross? I’m reading a lot of reports about people stranded and being left hanging around at Heynsham.

Back home now. Great island but weather wasn't the best again this year. ManxGP powers that be need to take a long look at themselves for changing format, weather this year proved it doesn't work as they were told last year when they decided to change things and dates leaving everyone hanging as the ferry bookings didn't marry up with the racing

No new meets at Manx, nothing new there. Great that our friend we made at TT took the time to come pick us up and take us for a drink on our first night. Great to have good friends like that who live on the rock. A refreshing change to have met a nice respectful guy we can call a friend.

Now to look forward to TT 2025
