Slaynt vie voish Ellan Vannin!

Post by Ballacraine »

Cheers from the Isle of Man!

Right, that is just about the extent of my Manx Gaelic, before anyone is tempted to reply in kind! :oops:

I am an owd greaser who moved over here to escape the Thatcherite Junta back in the '80s.

Recently I finally got around to buying a 2002 V Raptor, which I am quite smitten with. :mrgreen:

'What shores?'

'A flagon of Porter, my good man & whatever anyone else is having!'

Ballacraine

I take it your at Ballacraine! Im down in Castletown although the Raptor tends to stay in UK (it helps me keep my licence!). Got the Rap a couple of months ago so still a newbie. Im only in IOM 25% of the time but if you fancy a bimble about i could give you a call next time im back. Ive been into sorting the rear suspension and found the needle rollers tend to degrade also fitted new home made triangles to lift the arse up a bit, works a treat check my posts.

And welcome!

Hi Graham.

I am based in the South of the Island.
The Ballacraine handle comes from happy memories of when I used to go for roast dinners at the Ballacraine Hotel.
Yes, THAT long ago! :oops: :lol:

I'll PM you my contact details.
