I'm at the Classic TT on the Isle of Man and will be loading up photos here http://r1150rt.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/IOM/31383704_2LvjBZ#!i=2717380521&k=L9L6Drn

The first race is today and I'm heading out to the course this morning and I'll load up more photos during the week.

Paint me jealous.

You're living well, OG. That's a bucket list item that I'm not counting on.

[SpudRider]

We eagerly await your photos. :tup:

I loaded up more photos tonight, I'm meeting my daughter in Liverpool tomorrow, then off to Scotland, we are planning on attending the Ace Cafe Reunion in September. The Ace Cafe and IOM were both on my bucket list Weld

[Weldangrind]

The Ace is also on my list. Looking forward to Scotland pics.

Thanks for the "trip" (vicariously)...one of these days...
Was gonna ask if they ran that Britten, then saw the pic on the road.

I´m back in Lima today, the bad news first, I lost everything to thieves in Liverpool when I returned from the Isle of Man, my D7000, three lenses, the G12, Macbook, passport and money. I had planned this trip for a year, it would be an understatement to say that I am pissed.

I spent the next three weeks traveling with my daughter then we headed to Ace Café Reunión, here is a link to those photos (taken with a Sony HX 50 that I bought in Scotland)

There are several photos there of the new Royal Enfield Café Racer, what a beautiful machine. Overall it was a great trip.

I'm very sorry to hear of the thievery. :tdown: However, I'm glad you still had a good trip, nevertheless. ;)

As always, thanks for posting the great photos! I really like the shot of the stacked, cafe racers. :)

OG, that's awful! What a terrible memory of an otherwise fantastic journey.


Thanks for the pics; I looked through all of them. It looks like it was almost all low bars and high performance at the Ace. Some points of interest for me:

It's remarkable how many Sportster-based café bikes were there.
The characters were every bit as interesting as the bikes.
The new RE has rearsets from the factory! :tup:
The Honda tank on the BMW looked strangely at home.
The baby Rocker in the vintage pram made me smile.
:thanks:
