The Isle of Man Tourist Trophy is the greatest motorcycle road race in the world, the ultimate challenge for rider and machine. It has always called for a commitment far beyond any other racing event, and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in their quest for victory. A story about freedom of choice, the strength of human spirit and the will to win.

20th of Oct Thursday night, Rod sounds like you are officially organizing a ride [Dolph] to movie night + [wine], [drink], [coffee]
Well done [clap]
Fantastic Rod ! Im in
can you also organize safe parking for all the bikes
I think I heard it was going to be at the Imax ?
Yup, sounds like fun.
Mmick
I don't think that riding a motorbike after watching that movie would be such a good idea, might come out ready to make your own isle of man track all the way back home!

If there is any reality in the storytelling I don't know if that will be much of a problem for me ... scared shitless more likely.
I received an email from friends in the UK telling me to check it out (sending the trailer linked above) ... but that was what seemd like an age ago. Can't believe it has taken so long for a local release - doesn't exactly tie in with the MotoGP either.

Hambo - called you yesterday but it went to voicemail... booked in at Dendy Opera Quays.
My missus has a discount card of some sort for a radio station she sponsors... so he bloke gave me the tickets wihtout having to sign up.
Doesn't look like a bad deal for signing up anyway.
Anyone else heading along!?
mate im in i signed up ...only 18 and i walk past that place every day ................sorry i was busy yesterday mate ....how r things ....how good is the weather
Considering I started this thread... I feel I'm obliged to go! I'm going to head down to the Quay tomorrow lunch and sort some tickets out.
Hopefully they still have some left...

I'm in Max..........thought i would invite "stickerman" his reply was in two txt messages, as per below, word for word [roll]
Brian "want tkts to the TTS screening on the 22nd..? Better hurry"
Reply "I will wait for the DVD. All a bit Gay for me going to the pictures with all you bunch of queers. Bad enough riding around with you lot. LOL !!!!!!! "
2nd Reply Well it is, a bunch of grown men going to the movies together, even the cook thinks so LOL "
So, I would take those last two replies as a definate "no" ...... [coffee]......Wobbart.......I finally deciphered them......"Guys, to put it bluntly, I am not allowed out midweek so I'll pass, I daren't ask the cook, cos a certain part of my anatomy could end up decorating our Xmas tree, [thumbsdown]... but many thanks for your kind offer.......
Kind Wegards,
Wobbart
I have finally sorted 4 tickets out for the 22nd.
I have 2 spares, if anyone wants them let me know before Monday as I will find other homes for them at work.

We'll take them if you don't mind ... can sort you out tomorrow or on the night.
Sounds like we are going to have a good night out.
Are we all riding? There is bike parking on Macquarie St but it could still be busy at that time of the afternoon.
Alright then who the feck is organizing this ???
Maybe we should all park together , would make things flow nicely ........
Grand prix start [evil] [Dolph] last one to Norton street buys the gelato [laugh]

Would suggest parking on Macquarie Street as Matty mentioned, otherwise, there is some parking at the Opera House. (Hambo, can you confirm this?)
Anyone that's keen to meet before and go find parking together can meet me @ Harry's (Woolloomooloo) at 1800.
Afterwards am happy to have a drink at the Opera Bar or to convoy over to Leichardt.... EVEN BETTER would be Gelato and Coffee @ Messina in Darlinghurst (lets decide on the night, but Messina is IMHO Sydney's BEST Gelato) [thumbsup]
Parking at the Opera house? Are you talking under the OH cause as you know that will cost as you'd know.
I'll meet you before at Harrys maybe even before 18:00 so we can get an entree to dinner.

Gave them a call, motorcycles flat rate $10
haha, I just caught up to this thread...
I think I'll just meet you'all at the Dendy's at 6PM and catch up with everyone for Gelato at Messina's after the movie or where-ever we end up.
Cool $10 is fine by me for parking and a bit of security.
I'm gonna join up and buy myself a ticket later tonight, does anyone want me to buy them a ticket (or three) ? Thereby saving yourself the joining fee.
Have one spare ticket, [roll]
Paul
I'll take that, thanks Paul
So how many folks are coming along Thursday?
Just on the off chance that my bike is back on the road can I buy a ticket at the door??

Meet @ Harry's Woolloomooloo BEFORE 18:00 for a pie - 18:05 departure
Movie @ 18:30 - Parking on Macquarie St or @ Opera House ($10)
Gelato and Coffee afterwards @ Messina (http://www.gelatomessina.com.au/) (Victoria St Darlinghurst) - Standing room only normally in this place, so hopefully it's not TOO packed.

I'm assuming this will only work if you are riding?
What is the parking situation for non-conformists?
Yes I'll be coming along as will Dan.
Matty are you heading over from work or home? I'll see you at Rockdale if that suits.
I assume we are wearing jackets and helmet in the movie to get the full effect? :P

Normally not too bad, i've driven plenty of times on way home and generally find a spot within a street or two. (It's toward the hospital end of vic street)
Yep I'll most likely be heading in from home so I can meet you out on the Princes Hwy.
If I end up being in town at the office before I'll let you know.
But I'm planning on being down at Harrys by 5:30 for a pie/hotdog before the movie.

Thanks Paul, thats probably the incentive to get the bike finished.
If for some reason I dont make it I will still pay for the ticket.

Bike gets registered tomorrow morning, then I just might go for a wee ride through the borough.
Then into the big smoke for the movie
Mmick
OK, so I've got a last minute leave pass - anyone spare a ticket, or how do I get one on the night?
Maybe get one in town tomorrow morning Nick if you are still working there, but you need to sign up for a membership, or maybe Paul could help you out or some other ozmo
Gee this is turning out to be large gathering [thumbsup].
So we doing [coffee] before, if so where and when?

Nothing before Mmick, going for Gelato after.

I'm in meetings all over the city tomorrow, back to back, so no time to drop in. Hoping a member can get me one without having to spring for a membership myself...

For those Melbourne based peeps, my insider source at Village tells me that "TT 3D" is on their playlist at a 95% possibility, which she says ususally means it will play.
Opening on Oct 20th, TT 3D is expected to be at the Rivoli or arthouse cinemas capable of 3D .
The "Fastest" MotoGP movie is not due until November, around the 24th, again probably the Rivoli.
Well worth a look Melbourne peeps, I'm not one who likes a 3-D movie all that much but it's a great mix of vision and makes you feel like a granny when it comes your own bike riding.
