From there we went down to the paddock to see yet more bikes  After all their issues with the Fireblade this year, Honda have got Michael Dunlop to test the new one  Not sure he'll beat Josh Brookes though  And yet more Vincents for Brian   |

 You should have seenit in close up, driver door mirror help on with packing tape........ No for sale sign on the red SD, so maybe a new owner?

You'll get a good view there Biggest non-racing event is the Jurby Festival on Sunday, but getting there without transport is tricky. If you like Italian bikes, there's an 'Italian Night' in Port Erin on Tuesday. You could get the steam train down to Port Erin & bus back. There's a good sit-in chippy & plenty of cafes & pubs, and there's refreshments at the golf club where the bikes are, but it's about 10 - 15 minutes walk from the village. |

It's nearly over now, last race tomorrow  . Today, a non-race day, was another VMCC run, this time from Port Erin to Ramsey for Ramsey Sprint. It was raining in Port Erin this morning, so we followed them on our bangers, the CB & GPZ 500s. Turns out the rain was localised - it stayed dry up north, so nearly everyone else was on classics! Sorry if I've posted any of these before, it's getting hard to keep track!              Quite a few bikes had 'For Sale' signs on, including this one, and look, it's an Isle of Man bike AND, he also has a blue one, restored to the same standard, for sale. His & hers?  But look, we also saw this   And it's also a local bike!  Unfortunatley, no 'For Sale' sign on this one & never saw the owner to ask Finally, and nothing to do with bikes, this was there. Seen plenty of Cambridges, including a few estates, but never seen a camper before  |
