Up here in the Great White North we only get NASCAR Speed Channel. All our other Sports channels (TSN & Sportnet) broadcast all the stick & ball junk and broadcast exactly the same stuff except in Newfoundland where they get it 1/2 hour earlier. The TT is on my Bucket List and I've been keeping an eye on this Motoquest tour for some time. It's already booked up for 2013 but sometimes there are cancellations so there is still a chance I can get there next year. Papa Chuy has been talking about going over and I talked with Dave Clark from London who is on the forum and has done the ride over to the Isle of Mann for the TT races in the past. Papa Chuy thought the tour was too expensive but he is Irish plus they won't let his IRA ass into England anyways. Dave thought the price was in line with what other operators will charge. If I don't make it in 2013 I am definitely making the list for 2014.

When I do get there I will not be riding balls to the wall since my balls are not made of solid steel. Neither do I have balls hanging from my trailer hitch.

Very slight spoiler here, but can you imagine being the guy in one of the races that missed the podium by .01 second? After 4 laps of the course, and nearly 75 minutes of racing?!??!?!?!! One one-hundredth between third and fourth!!!!!!

I was thinking the same thing when I watched that race. Hard to believe. :unsure:

 
As i still may not be able to fly due to heart issues, i am exploring grabbing a ship out of houston or new orleans. It would be slow but cheap and some dock in ireland which i prefer over england, but it would be awesome to have MY fjr under me, and i'm an old sailor anyway...Yoko would then fly to meet me....its all changeable but i know my health wouldnt allow me to do the regular tour thing and more options exist....the bucket dont care!

Dont delay you rich cheap healthy *******s....the bucket dont care!

Blessed,

Bobby
