Hey Dudes and Dudess's,
Man this place is alive with vibrant goings on, and the weather has picked up bigstyle, so decided to stay a tad longer. Where do I start? The concerts were phenominal, The Who rocked despite the write up, but the Stranglers and Madness did a combined conert, and loved them both especially Madness I grew up listening to that 10 piece butty boy band.
The racing has been fantastic, I have never been to a bike race before, and to be that near as we were to them on Ballaugh Bridge the other day was breathtaking, we could have almost touched their helmets and the Classic Display at the end was awesome, the 2 stroke needed earplugs over earplugs, god those riders must be deaf nowadays. Tony Rutter (7 times tt champ) back in the 70's, broke down over the bridge and unzipped his leathers and was perched on a chair and just about to take a sip out of his tea, but I sprung on him armed with a permanent rider with my new (thanks Dad!) St. George's helmet and he signed it for me, so that was on 5th June (my bday). What a piece of history was sat in front of me.
Pop Star celebrities can really kiss my arse, but sporting legends, on my god, I hero worship them.
Talking of legends got up close to Agostini today when he was doing a signing, but didnt have anything to sign but got a groovy photograph of him, the man still looks amazing, and has an aura around him which encapsulates everthing great in sporting terms.
But the thing that has really blown me away here, is the sidecar racing, to see them up close and person was absolutely fantastic, those guys who do that are absolute nutcases, what a laugh, its now top on the list of toys I need to buy.
Have run into 2 kiwi's who have raced them (drivers) and if I ever get my hands on a silly lotto win, them woo getting me one of them and swing around on one of those.![]()
So thats about it. I love the IOM to bits on this tt week, nearly got kidnapped by the Satan Slaves from Germany on the first night here, ha ha that was funny.
Anyway before I bore you all to death about the fun fun fun here, will close on, hmmmmm wonder what day to expose the tits down the prom will be, might do it before anyone else does.
Watch this space
Coi for now.
Live long and prosper guys.
