Good luck on the Ferry Crossing ;)

[Rusty]

A few of our guys are going this year, so I should get some decent feedback.

[Paddy_NL]

Steam-Thingy ferry company have got monoply on the crossing to Douglas, and they're f*cking expensive! >:(

[Rusty]

So I've heard.

[Paddy_NL]

Last year it was somewhere in the region of £240 (Sterling!) per bike plus one person :-\

[Rusty]

We'd probably take a large van with several bikes in the back,still gonna be pricey though ;D

[knetter]

Assen would be cheaper ;D The night before the race is also something else, the brethren would fit right in!!

[Rusty]

I have been to Assen once before, but a long time back ( John Kosinsky had just taken Foggies ride on the Honda RC45 and also beat him ), and it was a good crack. Stinky Bill has also been several times.

If you take a van, they'll sting you as freight.

They're robbing bastards, that Isle Of Man Steam Racket Company. I lived on the island for a while a few years ago, and it was the steam rackets prices that eventually forced me off the island.

That and the fact that I'd got a severe case of Island fever.
