I am seriously considering coming over for the TT to learn as much as I can in preparation for a future return trip to enter the race. To that end I figure I would learn the most if I joined an existing team as crew. If any teams are interested then I would like to trade my time and effort for your help with logistics (and putting up with me asking lots of questions).
I will get myself to the Isle of Man (or England if you prefer help getting to the island) and then do what ever you need done to help the team for the duration of your TT campaign. I'll pay all my own transportation costs, crew entry fees and my share of any other costs you incur as a team (such as lodging, food, transport on the island). In return I would look to the team to arrange the crew pass, lodgings, transport on the island, etc.
I'm not picky for lodgings as long as I'm dry and there's a potty near by. I'm happy to sleep on a cot in your awning, the back of your van, a corner of the floor in someone's room, etc. If my flights require me to come or go a few days early/late I'll take care of my arrangements for those days.
I'm reasonable competent mechanically (don't usually break something more than once
) and work well under the direction of a good mechanic. I know my way around a sidecar. I'm also well versed in the use of stopwatches, cleaning rags, camp stoves and BBQs.Let me know.
