Nice... I always have fantasized about doing PP. Now that it is all paved I suppose it could happen.... I will just ride along with you this year A. That rocks too man.

Making Dreams happen and sharing them with us is really cool!

Got some bad news today, my entry for the Classic TT got rejected. No reasons given :( Looks like it will just be SuperTwins for teh ManxGP now unless i can find a 600 for the Junior Manx race

I have my kettle and tea ready in case Guy Martin needs a cuppa at Pikes Peak this year :)

Quick update:

Did NOT get an entry for the Classic TT, Did NOT get and enter for the Junior race. I am on the "reserve" list for SuperTwins. 90 places, so someone either has to not make the qualifying time or withdraw before I get a chance to race. I beat the qualifying time for SuperTwins(92.40mph) on the 400 last year so I dont think I will have a problem with the speed. i just need a few "placed" riders to be slower than me :)
Flights are all booked and payed for, bike is built so I am still going. Leave August 15th, race is August 28th, Fly back August 29th for the AFM race that weekend :)

These days you have to run the ManxGP and do pretty well to even get considered for teh TT. Unless you are a National Champ or MotoGP level star :thumbup
