An Intrepid Begining?

[Ballacraine]

Hi All,

Well, I better introduce myself.
I live in the Isle of Man, and after years of 'Oh that does look nice!' I have taken the plunge and bought a 1977 350 Sport........
Off ebay.

Well, it was going to cost me a fair slice to get it freighted from Central London over here, so I thought I might as well go over and ride it back.

I don't know what the records for variety of transport in a limited time, but I must have come close this weekend.

Car to the airport, plane, coach,train,underground,car,motorcycle and ferry.

Anyway, the little old lady did it without complaint, once we were outside of London. Up to Cheshire to overnight with an old buddy then up to Heysham & back over to the Island.

Not bad for a 29 year old in need of some more TLC!

Well impressed so far!

Well I took the little old lady down to the test centre today....

...and she won the Tester's heart!

So I will be going down to the Post Office, first thing in the morning to get her her Manx registration.

Think I'll have a beer.......

Anyone join me for one?

All ready got VMN 312 so what are you going for!

Laxey blues this weekend.

See you on the road soon?

Just going to take the next number along.....

Had a look at what was available & nothing floated my boat!

I will be putting it on an alloy black and silver plate though.

Went down to register this morning and they can't access the data, so I will have to go down next Friday afternoon.

I'll be about soon I would think.....

If I am not out on the Morini it will probably be on my other new toy.
A late first generation Triumph Speed Triple.

In Fireball Orange.

As in....

You've been Tangoed!

Remember them.....They are about 11 years old or so?

Sounds cool.

I'll let you know if I'm coming down to Port Erin if that's where you are.

If you have a phone number or two you could post or pm that would help!
