This is the 6th year I'm going for the Manx GP. Every year I've done it has had it's challenges... and those years that I haven't managed to get to that first lap on closed roads (2007 & 2008) the challenges just were just too great.
This year is no different - work has been a bit of a bastard the last few weeks... I'm away from home 5 days in 7 and have just moved. The moving part is positive... but has sucked the last 3 weekends (and some of this coming weekend) away. The folks at work are still not allowing me to take unpaid time off for the Manx. They don't realize that I work so that I can do the Manx. Screw them - I'm doing it.
The good news is the Ultralightweight bike (Bazooki SV) and the Senior bike (BAMF/Candy) are both just about ready. The Bazooki just needs a few things like fitting brake pads, a soopa-doopa Durbahn battery, a bit of paint (too much red!), numberboards and a gearing change... oh... and lots of lockwire. The BAMF just needs a dB killer. A couple hours on each and they'll be good to go.
don't worry - you'll be there and you'll have a great time as well as two successful race weeks!
