Is anyone going this year? I'm riding up there on my RSV Mille along with some friends and family on their bikes; leaving Plymouth on 1st and getting back on the 8th. I've never been before and I am getting quite excited about it

Its awesome, first time is the best! Have great time! Wish I could go again, especially as I've just got a bike again! Ride carefully, lots of nutters (I used to be one of them) and easy to get carried away.

Me and 3 mates flew over for the Senior TT last year. The Racing will blow you away. We found the island such a friendly place. you will love it.

We did a lap in a borrowed peugeot 306 diesel. took us 1 hour 20 mins. i didnt see anywhere i would want to hit 130moh let alone do that as an average speed.

Enjoy mate, just a little jealous

Th guy's from my work go every year as we make the carbon bodywork for half the bikes that race there!

I can't afford it again this year, but I will definitely be going next year!!!

Yes, I'm a little bit concerned about that - you can ride as safely as possible but doesn't stop you getting taken out by idiots.
