Thinking about going with the other organising club (joint venture with Porsche event).
Stopped at the Mount Murray hotel a few years ago, were excellent rooms and service.

looks very much that the new national speed limit for IOM will be in force very soon

maybe the locals have more info, saw this posted at pistonheads.

"It isn't clear when formal policies will be brought forward"

Hopefully not before I get out there...

Whatever the outcome speedlimits will not come in until early 2005. See details in the attached url.

Have a look at page 17 to see how fast people are going on open roads though, not just bikes but also cars doing 140-150MPH!! These are not long straight roads, they are twisty two-laners!

I will be writing in protest but it reads like a done deal.

I gotta get to Rochester airport fast - I heard there were a couple of 747 jet engines going cheap - me is going try bolting them onto my powerplant to take advantage of those IOM speedlimits !!!!

Anyone got any spare LARGE bolts ???????

Plenty of loose 'Nuts' around, but can't help you with the bolts.

You use one to trailer the other - I'll leave it to you as to which
