Bucket list for me is to see either the Ulster Grand Prix or the Northwest 200. If I had a ton of money Isle of Man would be great but book early, every racing nut in Europe is at this one.

I went to the Isle of Man in 1962, long before I had an interest in bikes.

With that kind of light going on my son would get a migraine for sure.
I took him in a restaurant where the fluorescent light above the table was flickering.
We had to change tables just to be safe.

I would love to go over there and watch the racers.

They have some people book the same place every year for 5yrs or more ahead,even camping spot's are hard to get, and they will be packed in like sardine's.And if you are on the mountain part of the track,as soon as the racing start's you are stuck wherever you are for the rest of the day.

Clearly not a ST1300: sound is to tinny, top end too low, and acceleration too slow.
