I didn't take any pictures because I'm daft, so daft in fact, I managed to get on the wrong ferry.
I did learn that Stevie Striple knows how to bust a move, if I were a pirate, I'd be there with the others trying it on with him!  ____________________ Current:1991 Honda MT50 (Soon to be a H100/MTX/MT5 hybrid), 1976 Honda Cub C70, 2005 Honda Varadero 125, 1993 Yamaha TTR250 Open Enduro , 2010 Road Legal Stomp YX140, 1994 Honda CRM 250 MK III, 1999 Cagiva Mito 125, 1992 Honda CB400 Super Four, Stomp T4 230, 1984 Honda H100s, 2009 Sym XS125K

Looks like a cool weekend TBH!
IOW is fun, as long as you avoid that one weekend when all the scooter boy's take over the place!
Did anyone see a dude on a mint Yellow TS125X on the island? If so I want that bike! |

Don't remember seeing the TS125; although talking of scooters you just reminded me about seeing this Vespa-sidecar which I thought was something a bit different .

Naturally. The others just couldn't keep up with Super Four power, they had to get the next ferry.

We're thinking of doing a similar camping one to Cornwall; welcome to come along if its not too far from up your way |
I think this one could be epic as well, maybe a couple of nights though instead of just one?
I also told a lie, I took three pictures.
One of the way down just outside Newbury, I stopped to get some hula hoops down me to do the second half.

Here we are ready to set off again.

And then, after agreeing to give the screen to Paddy, to give to Iain, I realised I had no allen keys on the bike, so I decided I'd just pull the screen off and deal with it later. The bolts were then loose so I had to tape the bolts in place so they didn't fall out and tape the headlight to the bracket to stop it from wobbling around.

All went well apart from a mysterious problem on the way home, I was about 30 miles from home when the bike started surging and wouldn't rev past 6K, so I got off the motorway at Banbury and took it back down the country roads so I could pootle back without anyone around to get in the way. I was then encouraged by two bikers that came past at silly speeds to play chase, I chased them down the A423 loaded up with stuff but I couldn't compete really. The weird thing is, the bike started running like a champ again once I got off the motorway, I can't find anything wrong with it now while looking, weird.  ____________________ Current:1991 Honda MT50 (Soon to be a H100/MTX/MT5 hybrid), 1976 Honda Cub C70, 2005 Honda Varadero 125, 1993 Yamaha TTR250 Open Enduro , 2010 Road Legal Stomp YX140, 1994 Honda CRM 250 MK III, 1999 Cagiva Mito 125, 1992 Honda CB400 Super Four, Stomp T4 230, 1984 Honda H100s, 2009 Sym XS125K

Looks like you lads had fun, we do have some pretty decent roads on the island.... will be even better when they finish re surfacing them all though That clifftop you stood on the edge of, large bits of that fall in quite frequently!  ____________________ nonstop unicorns vomiting sunshine pills into a rainbow toilet
