Was speaking to Dave who is in the isle of man aka stealth rider. he suggested a rather good idea to me! what do you think of this, get a ferry over to the isle of man out of season i.e. after the TT for a pure riding weekend and a camp, maybe 2 different places around the island.... Dave will show us round, have a laugh and get some good time in the saddle
Thats what i mean, shouldnt be that much, nothin near as much as it would cost you for the TT and you will get much more time in the saddle. the ferry is only 2 hours, we shouldnt have to pack much even if you do we can leave it at a camp site and go for some knee down action in the mountain where there is no speed limit!! :clap: :clap: and of course piss up at night :w00t:
lets set a date for this then. no reason we have to wait till AFTER the TT.....how about first weekend in May???
just to give the peeps an idea of the cost of ferry .bank holiday weekend the price for the ferry would be £83.00 sorry cant make this one as going to tt camping is about £7.00 aday for all those going have a great time Heysham > Isle of Man Fri 1st May, 09 02:15 (arrive 05:45) Isle of Man > Liverpool Mon 4th May, 09 15:30 (arrive 18:00) £73.00 Heysham > Isle of Man Fri 1st May, 09 02:15 (arrive 05:45) Isle of Man > Heysham Mon 4th May, 09 19:45 (arrive 23:15) £73.00 Liverpool > Isle of Man Fri 1st May, 09 11:30 (arrive 14:00) Isle of Man > Liverpool Mon 4th May, 09 15:30 (arrive 18:00) £73.00 Liverpool > Isle of Man Fri 1st May, 09 11:30 (arrive 14:00) Isle of Man > Heysham Mon 4th May, 09 19:45 (arrive 23:15) £73.00 * Price quotation excludes Fuel Surcharge £5 per
we was talking about this yesterday and me and cat are up for it...heres the ferry we'd rather take...might stay in a B+B instead of camp site. Heysham > Isle of Man Fri 1st May, 09 14:15 (arrive 17:45) Isle of Man > Liverpool Mon 4th May, 09 15:30 (arrive 18:00) £83.00 we need to organise this so who's up for it :w00t:
lol....what are you saying here Ant??? we're talking about going when the TT is NOT on....just for the weekend away and riding the mountain pass etc.
i know mate ? this has a link for the staem packet to get times for when we are thinking of going ??????????? so you can have a look how much it is going to cost you
http://www.steam-packet.com/tt ok try this one which is off the same site ? just choose the date you wish to go ! plus make sure your tyres are in good nick front and rear it dosnt take much to shread them on on few good runs over the mountain section plus when its not tt week or the manx the mountain part isnt one way traffic ..
hahahaha, dude you are so funny.....we have posted ferry times and the dates we are going above...plus we are NOT going when the TT is on..but you insist on posting links to tt week. dinny
sounds like a top idea :thumbsup: don't know if i'll be able to go or not yet though. andy, that link of ants isnt just for the tt. if you click on 'timetable' at the top it gives you full sailings info for the whole year.
