KR-1S.co.uk Forum

What about filling the deck of the IoM ferry with 2-stroke smoke for the first time in 30 years? Already 5 of us booked on 02/06 at 1915 from Liverpool including Charles and Dirk from Germany on their KR1s, 2 mates on TZRs and me on the Yamasaki.

Hi Gordi, I will be sailing on the 03.15 boat from Liverpool 2nd June. Should have my KR1S finished by then, but go on one of my strokers every year. Will be camping up by Hilberry corner, so will contact you nearer the time about hooking up & going for a blast? Tony.

I'll be at the 2011 TT too.

Cheers,

Darren - WightWizard.

Hi Darren, thanks for the message and the offer. Union Mills isn't a bad place to be and the Railway is a cracking little pub! We hope to be staying in a house in Peel if they haven't sold it since last year but the offer is much appreciated. Didn't know there was a campsite at Union Mills.
Anyway, we'll try and meet up over there (you too, Tony) and talk two-strokes over a beer!

Hi Gordi,

I look forward to meeting up with you & the others. I've PM'ed you my contact details.

Happy New Year.

Regards,

Darren - WightWizard.

I have to say I'm extremely jealous

You fellas will have a great time.The IOM is great.

In 08 I was lucky enough to get to the TT and The Manx.I went to the TT on the VFR,but took the van and trail bikes for the Manx.Which was an opportunity to combine some trail riding with classic racing.We stayed at the Falcons nest in Port Erin and the Kawasaki triples club were there too.When they sparked up on a morning you could hardly see down the road Some very nice Triples

Gordi I reckon your Yamasaki will get quite a bit of attention in Peel.

hey Pablo, gotta get there yet! Probably cost more than a small 3rd world country's total budget to get it there. And that's just petrol.
But I'll give it a go. Take a better rider than me to take it to the max. though!!!
Will seriously try and get the thing on youTube very soon.
Cheers, Gordi

Must have It's a bit quiet, what do you think could've happened

Quite simple for me. Wednesdays racing was postponed due to bad weather and run on Thursday instead - the day of the meet. Ginger hall is on the inside of the course, so once there (roads close at 10.00) you are stuck for the day until the roads open again. I watch from the outside of the course & ride the back roads to view from different corners (Creg, Hilberry, Signpost, governors bridge, start/ finish, top & bottom of Bray hill, Ago's leap, Quarterbridge etc.) I didn't want to get stuck on inside of course & didn't have guys phone no.s. No worries though -next years tickets are booked, so we can re arrange!

Hi Guys,

My apologies for not meeting up at the TT. The TT didn't go according to plan for me; my CR500 conked out 3 times (hadn't missed a beat all year before & hasn't missed a beat since!) and so I spent 3 evenings at various vantage points that I didn't choose!

Yep a TT to remember in many ways.

I loved the racing & the atmosphere, already booked for next year! Will be at the campsite just past Union Mills again (forgot it's name, senior moment...).

Would love to meet up with some of you guys.

Cheers,

Darren - WightWizard.
