Lost my 'mojo'!
Dy'u know, I kinda lost my way a couple of weeeks ago, couldn't get any enthusiasm at all, even thinking of cancelling or sticking to a couple of day trips, but we've just booked tents in the Metzeler village, so it's starting to come back again!

As said above cap, the crappy dark winters weather has that effect, don't worry, when the weather gets warmer and the nights gets lighter you'll be glad you've got your boats and tents booked.

I think its quite hard to maintain a level of enthusiasm all year round for a 2 week event no matter how brilliant it is!

Sometimes a little mental break does you good.

RE: Lost my 'mojo'!
I lost my Mojo where WSB was concerned this year.
Not only have I followed and watched it every year since the early 90's, I have video taped/DVD every round and keeped them.
This year, nothing. I recorded the first round, watched it for 20 minutes, then turned it off, deleted the recording, and didnt watch anymore. Dindt even bother to read the race reports in MCN. I only knew who has won because of all the fury over team orders ( which is another good reason to not watch, when there are team orders, its not racing)

The positive spin should be 'the days are getting longer to give us hope'.

And in reference to one's mojo, mine is wonderful thanks very much Icon_lol
Everything will be alright in the end. And if it's not alright, it's not yet the end.

So I've heard from my mum cpt_pants. A distinct lack of ferries have been putting into harbour. It's been rather windy here in Norfolk too where we have that lazy wind.
Everything will be alright in the end. And if it's not alright, it's not yet the end.

RE: Lost my 'mojo'!

Glad your back onthe straight and narrow Captain, I'm allready booked for TT practice week and classic TT/MGP. Never had a problem with my Mojo but does seem sometimes to be a long drawn out wait till I'm back on that magical isle. Positives all the way now that the days are getting longer and must make an effort to get me bike ready early for next year, allways seems to be the usual last minute panic wondering where all the time has gone.!!!!

Aww glad to hear you sorted Captain, sorry we couldn't accommodate you guys again this year, would have been awful if we had sold the house then you had to find accommodation.

However, if you want to buy our house, you can have any room you like lol!!!

It has to be straight, It's great fun trying to corner on that thing!
..and narrow, with those bars, you're right Eddy!
Thanks for all your kind thoughts folks.
I don't know what's happened, for over 20 years I have religously listened to manx radio day in, day out, but not any more.
At the risk of sounding arrogant/big headed or whatever, for the past 2 years I have had trips over for the TT, S100 & Manx/Classic TT, so maybe the  anticipation of going for a 'one off' event like the TT has waned slightly. The TT is the 'Daddy' , though, so I will look forward to it.
I don't know what this year will bring, but we have booked tents in that there Metzeler village, so that's sorted now.
Dave had better get plenty of beer in!!
