The world famous Bushy's beer tent.




Many of the shops along the highstreet have motorbikes in the window for TT period


This is the beer tap in the Sulby Glen Hotel


All sorts of fantastic motorbikes on the rock

Our last night on the Island.


imho The BEST hotel on the Isle of Man (have stayed there twice and will stay there again)


I love this Photo


The next morning all loaded up and ready to rock


We were so lucky with the weather, it was dry until we boarded, then the heavens opened


Donned waterproofs before disembarking, and made the 4hr trek home in the rain and cold (for this time of year).....Thankfully my waterproofs held out 100% including gloves and boots...so I stayed dry and warm all the way home.

My beloved FireBlade was as always, faultless.

My total mileage for the TT trip was 800miles.
Roll on TT 2015 (I'm already booked for it).

Fantastic pics! Went in 2012 and really must sort it to get back there in 2016!!

I was a bit gutted that we had to leave on Friday, missing the senior and the lightweight, but on the plus side we did the 370 odd miles home in sunny and warm weather.

Then again we did get pulled somewhere near Monmouth because of someone's creative interpretation of the rules regarding double white lines (not mine!). 3 points or a driving course for the person involved, so not too bad.

Rather worse was my poor old dad getting deliberately knocked off his bike whilst filtering through very slow moving traffic on the M5. Whilst the vast majority of people were happy to move out of the way, or at least stay put, some tosser in a silver SUV took exception to us filtering (despite us all being very cautious and filtering slowly). I'm pretty sure it was the same asshole that veered toward me as I passed giving me the coffee beans, and apparently decided to do the same to my dad and took him off. He then buggered off whilst my (70 year old) dad was lying under his bike. Unfortunately we had all become separated in the traffic so I didn't even realise this had happened until he was very late for the next fuel stop. My dad didn't get his number, though he's reported it. Fortunately no significant injuries and only relatively minor damage to the bike (smashed fairing, bent brake lever, scuffed exhaust). Put a bit of a dampener on an otherwise incredible week.

What a week! Didn't get many laps on the bike but did see all the races from some new spots, Gutheries was awesome. Loads of photos and loads of video.

Shocking! My Dsd cams to TT on the back of the VFR with me - He's 70 fragile but very motivated to 'crack on' and enjoy the TT.

I can only imagine how livid you must be - Any chance you can catch the culprits?
