Links to my pics I took on my two week trip around Ireland, and the Isle of Man - whilst there I rode around the TT Circuit and watched some of the Southern 100 racing and went to the prize giving.

Other pics might be of interest, the Manx Museum - I got the surprise of my life when I went in there, the first poster I looked at was of a former boss!
Also a few of the Titanic Experience. Didn't see much of the place, my calf had cramped earlier in the day and I was battling to walk - not easy at the best of times in bike gear.

Pam took pics too, hers are here.

Between us we took as many photos as we did miles Shocked

It's on my need to do again list. Might try and do the Southern 100 again - doubt you'll get any closer to the action and be more able to move about than this. Racing over 3 evenings, so plenty of time to 'pootle about' lachen during the day. Thursday is a full day racing and a prize giving party in the square.
If you can get on and off the island during the week and spend 4 nights there then the ferry price drops.

Any nibbles? Very Happy

Some video clips of the TT circuit. I edited the first 3 clips, cutting out the traffic and being stationary. Didn't do that with the part getting in Ramsey, the hairpin and the mountain road etc. I guess it gives a more accurate view of what the conditions were really like. Due to some superb editing on my part Rolling Eyes , I have managed to get the start/finish area at the beginning of part 3 then it cuts back 'to the action'.

It was clean .. ish Crying or Very sad yes - not that I cleaned it before setting off - I'd have been gutted if I had taken the cloth to it.
It picked up part of Wales' and most of Ireland's road muck in a few days. Took a good few hours on Saturday to sort of get a shine back (actually it's the cleanest it's been since I got it Rolling Eyes )
Do I lose my dirt bike award now? Wink
