I.O.M. TT 2016 meet Up ?????

[johny brando]

I'm considering making the Oz to IOM -TT journey this year. I've got few questions please to those in the Z1 Club that go there ....as last time I went, was on my Kawa 900.. I think it was in 1982 & I'd been almost every year since 72 Anyway lots of fond memories but..... has it changed much , doe's any one know ? Hope not , from what I recall life always seemed to move very slowly or stand still there aye ! Still seems really popular, as I've been looking at the Ferries to get over there & it seems there all but full ...even as just as a foot passenger it's chocker. I've also been attempting to hire a bike there for the week from a few old local contacts but it's all still at this stage very loose & iffy . Looks like I may have left it too late though ! Thought I might take a small tent as obviously accommodation is gunna be a non-starter for the week ( on face value I don't mind camping ......but I do remember the Manx weather & some years it was terrible , on the plus side though if it's dry it's great there. )
Is there any one in the Club planning on heading over there ? if so are you planning a get together early in the week.......one day, or evening at some a Pub ?
I'd appreciate any info or feed back from interested parties as I'd like to meet & put a face's to some of the user names I see so often on the Forum, as my opportunity to socialize with you guy's is a bit Mmmmm geographically limited now & being Zedheads we all share a common specific interest that the others out there just don't get ! Cheers , Johny Brando.
