Isle of Man update

I love getting the ferry to the Isle of Man, but flying in on a sunny morning is good too. I'd only been here an hour when Jamie (with the Bastard) walked by me in a Sideburn T-shirt. Going meet up with Jeff, Fatty and Dustin from Church of Choppers/ FTWCo/Sinners later. And Antonio Merinero (whose work is for sale in the Sayle gallery in Douglas) and Victor from Madrid. Saw Mark Miller too. His mechanic was given a new Aprilia road bike in a crate to turn into a race bike in a day. They were still trying to get the carbon fairing to fit two hours before final practice.
Hung around with Guy in his secret lair last night. He was very pleased with his new Zombie sweatshirt. Get yours at the Sideburn shop before they all go.
It's the Dainese-sponsored Superbike TT today. Pray to your god that the riders (and fans) are safe and that Guy wins. G

What GI hasn't mentioned is that he's there to work, and work he will. Of course, there's always time for a bit of the social. Bad luck today Guy.
