The idea was mooted today of leaving the security deposit with the Scouts to secure next year. I'll certainly be up for coming again.

I'll certainly be up for coming again. I must confess to a major twitch in that direction, too. On my own behest and bike this time, though, I hope. -- SIRPip : B12

Didn't bother to answer this while away, but I can now (I'm back at work) And the answer is - being at the TT without a bike is purgatory for me! Once I got it fixed, I did 2 1/2 laps non-stop. And yesterday I got up at 7am to have a last run round on clear-ish roads. -- Champ We declare that the splendour of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.

But even so, getting a spare engine shipped over is a > tad extreme IMO! Made perfect sense to me - race engine blows up right where the engine builder works, spare engine is in Chelters. Ship spare to Island with mate's assistance, fit it, continue with enjoyment and drop blown race engine with engine builder to sort and ship back to Chelters when done. Ride home. What's daft about that? -- Lozzo Versys 650 Tourer, CBR600F-W racebike in the making, TS250C, RD400F (somewhere) |
