W2Jings! Just wish I could have been there.
My 2008 TT was longingly, carefully, meticulously planned.

But.......ALAS!

Previous attendance of my person was required at HM Sherrif Court in relation to a misunderstanding over my motorised road use, and the subsequent consequences prevented my voyage to the earthly Valhalla that is the Isle of Man TT........
It was that, or face a grey B&B for some time.

Year after previous year for decades I have returned, and always I wonder: "will it be the same?"

Of course, it never quite IS the same ( as last time).

Decades pass, bikes change, roads change, people change, grow older, die, get born....razzamatazz comes & multiplies........

But the TT will always, always, always be the TT.

Never mind the B******S as the Sex Pistols said............

The B******t falls away when that flag drops.

I wish I had been there, for the TT 2008.

Changes notwithstanding, it's still the greatest race on Earth.

Many many thanks to all who post reports here, I am avidly reading & re-reading them, just to get a bit closer to the action I missed.......
