My TT 2012.

Postby Gert Meulman » June 12th, 2012, 9:09 am

My this years little story started on monday practiceweek, left home at 6 in the morning, two and a half hours drive up to Schiphol Amsterdam to take the plane to Southampton, two hours wait there for my next flight to Manchester, then another hour wait to fly and enter the magical rock, arrived around half four, was picked up by Colin's wife and son, after picking up Colin's bus I quickly drove up to my homestay in Douglas to drop my stuff, left me just time to drive up to Sulby to be at the bridge...was there last year, it's a wonderful place, you hear the bikes screaming towards you over the straight, braking hard, before they go on the gas again just in front of you, my last years lucky winning shot was taking there and it was one of Guy, this year the first bike which showed up in front of me was Guy again, we were back, happy days...
