IOM Classic TT 2025

[general_piffle]

I'm riding the 750 GT to the Classic TT this year and will be there from August 26th to the 29th. Wondered if any other Laverda nuts were going to be there? Would be good to meet up for a beer.

I will probably organise something for Tuesday evening 26 August, assuming it doesn’t end up being a race day because of the weather…..

Sounds good Andy, that's the day I'll be getting to the island. Have been to the regular TT a couple of times but never to the Classic before.

There is an organised Italian Bike night in Port Erin on Sunday 24 August for anyone that is interested. They had quite a good turnout at the TT even though it had ended up being a race day. https://www.italianbikenight.im/

We had a small gathering of owners and friends at my workshop yesterday and managed to talk the usual ‘bike bollocks’ for three hours....
A bit later we could perhaps have thought up a new joke, 3 Scotsmen, 3 Belgians, 2 Englishmen and an Aussie walk into a pub.....
Anyway we all had a good time and apologies if any other owner on the island missed out on an invite. However there are still a few days left of the event for another meet.

3 Scotsmen, 3 Belgians, 2 Englishmen and an Aussie walk into a pub.....

the bartender says ‘Is this some kinda joke?’

"Why's that Aussie laying on the floor (again)?!"

On this occasion it was more like ‘am I dreaming’ as when we arrived the pub was pretty deserted.

Sorry I arrived too late on the island to come to this. Would have loved it, and still keen to see your workshop and bikes Andy!

27 years of visiting for the Manx GP or the TT it has become an annual migration so I'm already booked! Being a TT Marshall I get preferential pre-booking..that and 10% refund on the ferry costs, so it would be rude not to!

BTW, is it you driving around the island in a brown Caravelle with Laverda stickers in the back window?
