TT 2019 has started & the bikes are pouring in, this lot from Dublin this afternoon.  Probably cheaper than riding them here, but nothing like as much fun   |

Nice day yesterday, looks like the only one this week so we had a ride up to a packed grandstand   There were a few nice bike parked up, including a couple of Itatlians   There was a lovely 500/4 next to Gill's Ninja  But when I took a picture of it, I did a Wazzbo  Three guys rolled up on mini bikes (Bodie, don't tell Paul but the Monkeys are way cooler than the Grom! )  In the paddock, CCM had a nice display  The nicest bike of the day was also in the paddock  Miserable day today, and doesn't look like improving anytime soon  |

While checking out the bikes in Douglas today, we bumped into a couple carrying helmets with a dog on a lead. When we asked how she got here Turns out they're regular TT visitors & all come by bike. Paul showed us his bike, complete with Poppy's seat & her own windscreen  Here she is in Port Erin, complete with googles by Rex Specs (apparently they're also available from Doggles)  She even has her own facebook page www.facebook.com/bikerpoppy/So I reckon we've nearly got Bodie's problem sorted - one in a tank bag, one in a top box like our XTR 250 friend's campsite neighbour, plus one either side in paniers. Just one more to sort out |

No need Chris, some of the back packs we've seen this week would take the largest of dogs. So that's them all accommodated |

the registration on that yam lc could perfectly describe the (cosmetic) condition of my own ypvs that I owned many years ago.
I hope overall it was still a good TT, looked like hell to organise from what I saw on the tv and love the pics

Must have been a nightmare for the organisors, but from our point of view & I guess a lot of visitors, it wasn't too bad. In the 2 weeks, there were only 2 completely wet days, so we were out on the bikes most days at some time. Wednesday we went up to Peel for a chip bap for lunch & while Peel & most of the Island basked in sunshine, we could see the low cloud sat on top of the mountain - the beaches were busy but the circuit remained closed. After Peel, we headed down to the grandstand where we met a couple of guys who'd flown over for the day to watch the racing. They too sat in sunshine, but no racing 'till the evening, after their flight had taken them back to Manchester |
