Well she made a 450 mile round trip last week from near Coventry to Liverpool ferry and on to IOM with no probs :) Here we are at the old Castletown brewery. Back home yesterday :)

I've photographed my BSA 250cc motorbike in the same spot several times since the 1970's but the weather has aways been better for me, looks like it had been pouring down in your pictures. I think the brewery closed a lot of years ago but in my opinion the Castletown Ales were better than the Okells and Bushy brews I've had there since. I like your Sprint; my old automatic sprint was the same colour.

Yes it seems a well used spot for pics :) My mate that took me there said about the ales being the best back in the day too,although there did seem to be a lot more guest ales this time round.
Yes it peed down all the way there and back (to Jurby where we were staying) but it gave the the wiper motor a work out :)
Can you post a pic of your BSA in the same place?

Cheers
