Well the 2012 IOM TT is approaching and there is a bit of interest (see thread about Bruce Anstey)
If you ever get the chance to attend the TT DO IT !!!
I had the great good fortune to be there for most of the 2010 event. If you are interested in why I think you should go read my story at the K2 web site.

Oh man. After seeing Closer To The Edge, both my girls are planning on racing there. I'm not sure I want my first time there to be watching my daughters. Pfft, they're only girls, it will never happen.

His name is Jenny Tinmouth.
Was supposed to race BSB last year with the Splitlath Aprilia team but it all fell over.

The IOM is the best place on earth for the TT, Manx GP , OR Guy Matins favourite event the Southern 100 ,the southern is held in the south of the island on brilliant roads ,I have been sat next to Joey Dunlop when he won every race and was embarrassed to get on the step .he had to have help to carry all the trouphies back to his van.
Every body should go before the do goods get it stopped !

Jenny's pretty handy with a fast bike between her thighs. After the Spitlaugh deal fell apart last year she managed to get a ride together in the supersport class instead. Can't remember if she got a top 10 placing or not in any of the races, but she was just thereabouts.

I saw that Maria Costello's gonna do the TT again this year, but dunno if Jenny will be there. Pretty sure she's well capable of top 20 placings if she does.

T'was talking about it last night.. The plan is to go to Ireland first, NW 200 etc, then over to the IOM. Just a question of when..,,:(

Jenny Tinmouth was saying on Twitter last week that she was filling in the entry form for the IOM so looks like she'll be there.
