Bit serious now..... this guy is doing about 140mph..... and the spectators on the other side of the road are closer than you see here!! (the black square thing on the left is a traffic-light box... the usual speed limit here is 30mph!!) The cable leading to the box to the right of the rider is from a kerb-cam...... a fella called Phil McCallen took that out with his knee a few years ago!!!

Went to a shop in Ramsey (2nd biggest town) to order some made-to-measure leathers..... went out for a smoke and saw this ~ the owner has used a Simpson Bandit helmet as a headlight cowl.... pretty neat, I thought!

When you look at this, bear in mind the riders start 10 seconds apart...... and this is on the FIRST lap!!

I shot a few mini-video clips of this corner.... but I'm not sure how to post them just yet!! (If you're interested, PM me and I'll Email them to you!)

Well, all good things come to and end (it was good for US anyway!!) and Sunday night found us on the boat home! This is called the "Tower of Refuge"... in days gone by, if criminals made it out here, they were afforded sanctuary from the authorities!

(Doesn't apply now, unfortunately!! :( )

Sunset, from the boat back to the mainland...... got it as my screen wallpaper now!!

Hope you liked SOME of these...... I took a lot more pics, but I reckoned 28 pix of interest mostly to us was QUITE enough!!

Next lot of pix will be MUCH more like what most of us come here for.. promise!!
