I've made it back, did you miss me (I bet no one noticed) any way I wanted to mention the scot oiler cramp buster, I baught one just before we left for IOM and I am bloody glad of it the best 10€ I have spent for the bike, any one doing the Longest Day might want to try one, great on motorway take a bit of getting used to if your up and down the box a lot and twisting merry hell out of the throttle but deffinatly reccomendable.
