I didn't get to do a great deal of riding this time Jim, due to the heavy rain and wind on Monday and Tuesday, plus my duties in the pits.
I did have a couple of hours at Peel and then dinner at the Sound cafe at the Calf of Man.
My mate was on his Beemer 1200GS with his son and i had Elle the dinner lady with me on the Thruxton.

The bummer was obviously the deaths of Martin Loicht, from Austria, and Paul Dobbs, from New Zealand, who were taking part in the Supersport 2 Race on Thursday.
Mr Loicht was fatally injured at the Quarry Bends section of the course.
Mr Dobbs died in an accident at Ballagarey.

Also at Ballagarey, Guy Martin's crash in the senior was something that shocked many fans and fellow racers, he was very fortunate not to have died or been much worse injured than he was.
This video is from an interview on Look North in 2008.
