I'll admit the Larne/Troon crossing is good, but the road to Stranraer is a little beauty!

I was going to, but decided to spend the cash on other stuff. Have a great time though!

well for some of the group who will have a full laden Vstrom its a little daunting

I'm going too now. For free through the work via keeping two pallet spaces for the bike on the trailer...... Do the Friday nightshift to Belfast, off load the bike, ride it up to the north for the racing, and mosy my way back to Belfast late Sunday for reloading back onto the artic.

Free meals and drinks on the ferry both ways...

Stowaways on the trailer are welcome, but leave a £2000 deposit to pay the customs illegal immigrant smuggling fine

Jimmy, are you a part time MP by any chance (all these freebies) ?

I'm starting to go over to Belfast quite regular now. The fact that the North West is on this weekend made it more enticing to take the bike for free. It's either the bike or a free works van to run about Belfast with over the weekend.... One of the perks of working for the Irish, and a shell fuel card - freeby trips to Ireland, and a shed load of shell points every two days.. Enough for a free return trip air miles to spain soon for my two week holiday....

So yes I am a part time MP claiming my "allowances", and it's legit.

Good - the more the merrier!

For those of you who can't make it, but are interested in finding out what is going on, the races are being shown on BBC NI's web-site. Also, if you have SKY, you can watch the equivalent of Reporting Scotland on Channel 973. Unfortunately, on tonight's news they are already talking about a serious crash at Station Corner - hope all turns out to be well!
BTW Bruce Anstey has been setting the place on fire on the TAS Suzuki. C'mon Bruce!

see ya all there

its gonnae be sooooooo good
