2 Manxies having independently found their way onto an international engineering forum is a fairly high per capita percentage considering there's only about 80,000 inhabitants on our little rock in the Irish sea
Dave, am I right in thinking you have a good deal of knowledge and experience with CAD/CAM/CNC?.....OZ

Hi Oz
Welcome to the collective :borg:
One of my to dos, is to get over to IoM to watch the TT in person. One day...
Do you have any projects going?

Hi there Eric,
A visit in person to the TT is a must do for anyone with even a fleeting interest in motorcycles.
We're always at the mercy of the weather ,of course, but when the sun shines and we get a good week of racing action there is no finer venue to be found anywhere.
Our residents and our Govt are very amenable and accommodating towards our TT and Manx GP visitors.
If you decide to come do let me know and I will do my best to ensure your visit is a good one.
I guess we residents are spoiled really, and many take the TT for granted because they have known it and seen it all their life.
When I was a youngster I used to get on my pushbike and take a 4 minute ride down to a spectator point at the bottom of Bray Hill where in the 60's I was watching the likes of Hailwood,Agostini,Passolini and other big names riding what are now considered some of the most iconic racing motorcycles ever built.
Do you have any bikes yourself?
I have a BSA Rocket 3 export model which I bought as an unfinished project in crates about 20 yrs ago.
It is still in bits but I have bought a lot of new parts from auto jumbles over the years,so I pretty much have all the bits ready for a restoration which I hope to get into in the next couple of years.
What projects you ask....Well I've just completed a taper screw type log splitter to deal with my firewood(works effortlessly and very happy with it) and whilst splitting some logs earlier I came across a couple of nice pieces of Sycamore and I've since converted them into a couple of turning blanks for a bowl or wall clock project maybe.
My motto these days is even if I only have half an hour to spend,I get out in the workshop and do something to progress the many projects I have in front of me.
There just ain't enough hrs in the day I guess.....Cheers for the welcome....OZ.
