RE: Classic bikes
Hi Pat
You could do worse than find the best-kept secret of the Isle of Man - the Manx Grand Prix.
This year the Vintage Club moved their Sunday meeting from Castletown Square to the wide-open spaces of Jurby Airfield, bit like Snetterton but feeling a few degrees colder. The weather was appalling, but the crowds that flocked there had to been to be believed! They counted about 3,000 cars in the car park. They could never have accomodated this amount of people in Castletown Square.
Sammy brought a few bikes over to parade, the Vintage Club members went out for ten-minute parades, it was superb.
Add to that the 'Classics' - mainly replicas on the Mountain Course, a pre-65 two-day trial, the Vintage Rally with around 350 entries, one-make rallies as well as the modern races and trial, it all adds up to a super fortnight - but don't forget your thermals.
If I did not live here, I would always make the Manx my choice of holiday.
I'm on the Great Flapjack Foray of Life - can't you tell!
