Hope you have a boat booked and some accom/tent, I will be marshalling at Dorens bend just after Ballig bridge, you are most welcome to join us to watch the racing from there(private drive) just ask any marshals to point you in my direction, just say Dave from London.

[kevinhancock750]

I'd suggest .. a non race day, and not thursday .. as the uk bm club have a meeting on then IIRC..

Say Tuesday?

And remeber the UK HU meeting is on shortly afterwards too.

It's always difficult to arrange to meet up at anytime during the TT as there is always so much on, I can't make a pub for races as I will be on Dorans bend marshalling....No pub and a bit isolated. one other thing I did not think the UK BM club held TT meets anymore. Perhaps we can meet more than once for any that can't make a particular time/place. Where will you be at any known time?, BM meet(if ones on) Tuesday race week I'll be at the Crosby for Laverda meet... post more nearer the time.

The BMW Club :: View topic - BMW Club TT 2007 Natter-Meet

"Liverpool Arms, Baldrine between Onchan and Laxey. Thursday 7th June 2007. I'd say from about 1030 " ...


I'd suggest not meeting with them .. I'm told that pub is small and may well have problems if all the bm people go there anyway.

I think you'll find any time will have something on somewhere .. it may well be difficult to isolate a time .. then there is the place problem ..

[kevinhancock750]

i can meet anytime or place as i've got nothing planned to do
but we can arrange it later on.i know about the hu uk meeting is just after and its a shame i cant make it due to work commitments . it would of been my first meeting so i'll be in sisteron in august instead.

[palace15]

Cheers Frank. Yes the liverpool arms is quite small and also on a nasty bend where a badly ridden sports bike could easily 'join' you in the seating area out front ! The BM uk club for a good few years had a big meet every TT at The Glen Helen but don't know why it was stopped.

Think that was an evening meeting .. IIRC. Possibly the european bm clubs still have an onofficial meeting somewheres..
