Hopefully this will all work OK!  Malcolm - please let me know if you want me to change anything about how these are presented. 

This will be a selection from this year covering the TT, Aberdare & MGP.  I did start to do this on the other side so the first few will have been seen before.


Waiting at Liverpool - funny how you always seem to see the same faces and they never look any older!  I don't know if it's an age thing but when I get there it only seems like 5 minutes since the last time Icon_confused

The Mersey seemed reasonably calm but it turned out to be one of the most 'nautical' crossings I've had in a long time

Be back with some racing shots later once I've seen if this is all OK!

RE: Road Racing 2014
First practice for the Pre-TT Classic.  Sadly the weather didn't co-operate and the light had gone well before the session finished. 

Adrian Dedman & Theresa Langford (745 Norton Dominator) lead Jose Nobre & Marc Therasse (750 Ireson) at Ballabeg:

2nd practice session for the Pre-TT from Castletown Corner:

Guido & Rita Reichmuth (864 Ducati).  This was their second year at Billown.  After racing there for the first time a year or two back they got married on the Island afterwards (unless I've remembered it wrong, in which case they didn't... Icon_biggrin )

Kez Williams & Billy Weston (750 BLR Honda) not looking in the direction they were travelling.  A nanosecond after I took this they were going backwards!

Don't. Tell him any one but some of them were quite good shots, and in my little world I can still hear that Ducati outfit coming through Church bends awesome and that Weslake had a ring to it that I could listen to for hrs, oh the memories you stir on a cold winters night Sticks, think you have a bit of a smudge on your lens Mike I will lend you a cleaning cloth next time I see you it's right in the middle goes from left to right, it could be right to left depending from whence you were looking, I suppose, lol

RE: Road Racing 2014
It's a good meeting that one, more suited to classics than the TT course, and church bends in a front exit chair as that shot shows Sticks is awesome total faith. Has to be, you would NEVER GET ME ON THAT CHAIR. EVER

That bit of muck on you lens is slipping Sticks its nearly off the bottom edge now! Think with a bit of cropping you could get rid of that lol

Soon be time for the count down hope your getting ready Dommy has his all sorted out, raring to go, am looking forward to that

Monday night practice at the QB & Governors:

The brothers Dunlop

Alan Connor
[Image: DSC_9965_zpsf87bedee.jpg]


Estelle Leblond & Sebastien Lavorel.  I'm seriously impressed by this girl but for some reason the Manx Radio commentary team are not.  Last year in her debut she became the first female driver to lap at over 100mph.  A feat completely overlooked at the prize giving that evening.  This year she was averaging 105 and had the beating of her old chap, who's been riding the TT for years.  During the 2nd race this year Tim Glover decided to do an update on the progress of the female competitors - except for Ms Leblond.  Perhaps Tim is unaware Estelle is a girl's name... Icon_confused

Dropped the ball with this thread!  Been pre-occupied trying to get a job.... Icon_evil   Better crack on or the next TT will have been and gone!

Weds night practice - horrible light and it soon turned wet, so I just went to Parliament Square.

Thursday night at Ballaugh was even dimmer than the night before!  Slideys were out first and best leap of the night were French newcomers Eric Beneteau & Yannick Naboulet (SGR Honda)

Still at the Bungalow for the first Slidey race

Wayne Lockey & Mark Sayers - one of my locals and a brilliant result for what may be the smallest team in the whole paddock.  6th place and his first 110mph lap
