Isle of Man TT... Where Real Men Race ♣️View attachment 8508018
Just lost my ex team mate Louis out there last month. They're a different breed.

We were racing at cadwell park in the UK my rookie year and ended up on the same 3 man endurance team. It snowed in qualifying.

I thought I was going pretty quick, only dropping to 5th gear for turn one. I followed him for a lap and the MFer didn't even lift flat out in sixth. The man knew how to hang off the side of a bike.

Good bloke, worked hard, it's a shame he's gone.
 
Well, this bus ride might be interesting

Gallows humor aside, it's incredible to see everything. The grounds are much, much bigger than I had ever imagined. We were only there for about 3.5 hours and that wasn't enough time at all to walk around and absorb all the exhibits. The main train tracks leading from the main entrance to the first 2 gas chambers/crematoriums was about 900m long. Overall an incredible sight to see. 100% recommend going.

Saw that place and several of the others when dad was posted to RAF Base Bruggen in West Germany, we lived on the base from 1961 to 1963.

Many intense memories from that period including the Berlin Wall being built and the Cold War alert status and the damage still widespread from WW2.
