Well it's probably cheaper than airline fare ;-)  Were the Manx race, is it
on the Isle of Mann as well?

Never been to the isle of man TT but always wanted to, as well as the Manx
GP. Whats always put me off is that the ferry prices are dearer than a weeks
holiday in Spain.

So just so you "chaps across the pond" know, I work with a bunch of people
out of Swindon.  I've been the the UK four times, even went to Birmingham of
all places.  I'd love to come over some time to the Isle of Mann races.
Have any of you UK or EU GPZ listers been to it?  Joey Dunlop is my hero,
God rest his soul.

Happy Easter,

John

Found the other twin end can set up I was thinking about. In the UK so
shipping could be expensive. 
Also I don't know anyone who has used one so I cant comment on the quality
etc.

It's on my list as it's not that much more than a SS Muzzy setup.  Shipping
across the pond was quoted at $137 which isn't bad.  Is the Motad exhaust
less weight by much over the stocker, that's one of my desires.  Also, read
the Motad has a "decibel killer" which is removable for track days and I
understand noise laws are pretty tough in the EU.

I have the motad nexus full system on my 95 , it's great quality &  
runs happy on the standard tune . Noise is not that different to  
standard. Like Steve, I'm not sure about availability over the water  
but if you can get it then it gets a 5 out of 5 from me!
