Isle of Man

[rweir]

I have driven cars around the UK and Europe an enjoyed it…

I now live in the Isle of Man… amazing place…

Motor sport???? Here? FANTASTIC! And I haven’t even seen the half of it.

The Noble over here… over the mountain part of the TT from Ramsey hairpin… well, the bikes love it, so do I, and they have a HARD time keeping up, which I enjoy even more!!!

This post is to respect to bikers who really appreciate a little ‘race’ and who love the car, one biker, had to stop me after and said “F…. me …. That goes some?!??!?!”. I do not know my bikes but it was a 900 and he was a local

Richard, sounds like we'll have to arrange a gathering of Nobility over there?! :-)

Schweeeet! I wish we had an isle of man type of drive around here. No such luck.I watch the races with drool on occasion. We have a lot of small roads ... and the good curvy ones are low speed. Are larger roads are old and narrow and crowded interstates/highways/toll ways with, generally, a good amount of law enforcement to avoi and tolls to stop at and pay. We have a lot of hills and dips ... and bad weather. Bleh. I want to move west.

I mean, I have found my fair share of roads to push limits of my performance toys on ... and manage to have some fun ... but there isn't as much selection of good environments to choose from as other places.

Be greatful for your Isle of Man location.

Enjoy!

A possible good date would be when there is a track day on as well, There is one on the 2nd of October but I believe that one is run by a UK company and filled with skylines and the likes, bit of a mad day from what I hear and the locals don't drive, just watch!

The next one is on the 13th November ... chances are weather will not be great, but I suppose that just makes things a little more interesting!!

Unfortunatly I have not made it up to the track yet but I hear it's ok ...
