Good point, I quite fancy going over the day before and just soaking up the atmosphere on race day.

Stewie, I shall be attending, it just has to be done.

I assume we're all booking individually pretty much?? Stick me down as paying a deposit as per the Daytona forum info & let me know how to pay up.

EDIT: Whatever happens, I shall be doing Mad sunday!!

Yeah, I PM'd you and asked you about paying, the other day, that was the main thing for the PM and we never got to the bottom of that

Yes you did and I forget to answer you, sorry, ok, what I was going to propose was this, if any of you would like me to book the ferry crossing and or accom I can do that, the steam packet company require a £20 per person non returnable refund to hold a place, all that does is hold a place for you until they issue you with an invoice in December, you then have up until February 2010 to pay any balance, if anyone wants to pay me before that date then thats fine, I can sort some way of giving you a receipt, Ive never actually tried to organise anything this size before so bare with me, btw Im not trying to organise a SV rideout or anything, just though it,d be nice to spend a weekend away with some mates.

Do it do it do it!!!

Stick me down for giving you the deposit, just make sure you book me on any dates that involve me looning around the circuit on mad sunday & I'll be happy.

EDIT: Seeing your last comment, have Steam Packet said how much it'd be for a week away instead of 3 days?

EDIT2: From this website:
TT Escape
Car+2 from only £94/€122 each way (£188/€244 return).

Valid for journeys originating from the Isle of Man departing between 26.05.09-5.06.09 and returning to the Isle of Man between 09.06.09-19.06.09. Weekend supplement applies – £24/€31 per vehicle per single leg crossing for Friday, Saturday and Sunday travel (excluding Ireland).

That's do-able for me, just swap car for bike, and add more money for accommodation costs.

We will have to have our own mad Sunday. No probs there though

EDIT: If I ride as normal with the missus on the back, she will make it a mad sunday

Yup, agreed, I just love the idea of the mountain run being one way, with no speed limits.

Keep me down as a definite for your plans Stewie, and I'll do some research closer to the time too, to see if I can extend a little & stay longer than the rest are intending - that way it won't mess with your head/plans.

Still waiting for a few bods to get back to as well, but so far 16 peeps have said they want to go off this forum alone plus 6 off the daytona forum including a geordie living in L.A. who is working out his annual vacation around this, anyway once we get numbers we can have a look at accom, may go for something like a bunkhouse, but tbh no one has to stay with anyone else if they dont want to, right off to work TTFN
