I'm v busy ATM, but I'll copy and paste the write-up from UKRM, hang on
... it's a bit "bikey", but it'll give you a flavour:
Oh, and pics here:

The write-up: "10 Days On The Island" (The Isle Of Man, for the Manx GP
races - the amateur and classics event)

Happy times :)
On the food front, the fast food there is average fare at best, although
the fish & chip shop does nice stuff. The (expensive) Harbour Bistro in
Ramsey is wonderful though; simple meals, cooked well, with fresh local
ingredients - try the "queenies" (local Manx queen scallops in a mornay
or garlic butter sauce - I preferred the mornay, often with smoked bacon
too), and the Manx steaks are among the best beef you'll ever taste.
But not cheap, and not an option for everyday, although I did manage to
eat there 3 times in 10 days :)
Thanks, I enjoyed reading about your trip and seeing the biles. Your 2002 R1
is gorgeous. I want that little Austin 7, it's cute.
