Obviously  any ex TT winners are excluded from my rant ,regarding vans and trailers.personally i cant afford  either,but guys ,take a reality  check.the Elephant rally was about riding a bike to Germany in JANUARY.. the Manx is in AUGUST....I despair,  the MCNs drive to do 5000 miles,holy sh#t i did 10,000 miles on a Fs1 e, in one year in 1976.For every van  / trailer heading over to the manx there maybe 10 bikers sitting at home unable to go,me included.Perhaps in years to come with more inherited wealth,the last few TT fans will only be able to go to Heysham,to watch the few TT goers left towing Motorhome/Trailer/ Jacuzzi /Barbecue combos.Final rant ...When i come back from Douglas on Monday  night there were only 18 foot passengers,,and what looked liked a lot of room on deck, viewing from legends bar,yet i was told no room for a bike ??? Any one know why???.
