  Sulby Claddagh
Posted by: Andy from Kazakhstan - 03-02-2025, 09:14 PM - Forum: Accommodation (TT, S100 and MGP - Homestay) - No Replies

I am struggling to find any information about camping on Sulby Claddagh for the TT period. I have sent an email to the address used for previous years permits but haven’t had a response. I just wondered if anyone had heard anything and could enlighten me please.

  Yamaha 70th anniversary
Posted by: captainsparkledotcom - 31-01-2025, 09:20 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (1)

Thought I'd contribute a little light heartedness to this section!
Whilst browsing through some TT first day covers for sale I noticed a "Yamaha 50th anniversary" one from 2005,
so I had a quick "Google" to see if they had anything lined up in way of celebration of 70 years this year, TT in particular.
First thing I came across was an announcement that they've changed the logo, for the first time in 27 years!
I must admit that it doesn't look much different to me, apart from the red bits have gone white & vice versa!
Then I stumbled across this webpage, on the Yamaha site, if you have a few minutes that you don't mind losing forever!

  Factory Triumph support for Jamie Coward at TT 2025
Posted by: captainsparkledotcom - 28-01-2025, 02:22 PM - Forum: TT Related Posts (Only) - No Replies

Excellent news for the Yorkshireman!
One thing I did wonder, how much factory support did Peter Hickman get?
i only ask because I went into their merchandise tent a few years ago, to buy a Trooper T shirt, but noticed it didn't mention Triumph on it!
When I asked about it they said, words to the effect, that Triumph didn't help out so they wouldn't put the marque on the merchandise!
anyway, read about Jamies good fortune here -

  An important message to those who are attending the TT/Manx Grand Prix
Posted by: Nasher - 25-01-2025, 04:46 PM - Forum: TT Related Posts (Only) - No Replies

An important message to those who are attending the TT/Manx Grand Prix

With the 2025 TT now only 4 months away, I thought I'd post this information (again!)

If you are planning to go to the Isle of Man riding motorcycles/mopeds (or any other vehicle) on L plates using a provisional licence:

A UK PROVISIONAL LICENCE IS NOT VALID IN THE ISLE OF MAN (also applies to provisional licences from other countries)

You are NOT LICENSED and therefore NOT INSURED to ride/drive there

If this affects you, I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you do have just over 16 weeks to pass your test ....

Link here: https://www.gov.im/categories/travel-tra...ive%20here.

Basically it says: Holders of a provisional driving licence or permit issued outside the Isle of Man cannot drive on the Island. You will need to apply for a Manx issued provisional driving licence in order to learn how to drive here.
