So what does everyone think of the TT and how many of you come over to make use of the lack of speed limit?

Me and a couple of mates are heading over for the TT next year. Can't wait. If your thinking of going though, you might want to think of booking up ASAP.

Au contraire gem.
I was there last year from Saturday to Saturday and, true, it lashed down the Saturday and Sunday, and as we were all camping we thought "We can't take this for 7 days". But anyone who was there will agree, on Monday morning the sun came out, and it was absolutely gorgeously hot from then until Saturday.
Hopefully it'll be the same again this year. It's an absolute blast!

Was there this year for the classic pre tt and the tt proper and it was great took the duke and had a good time (cheers to the boys at the douglas rugby club) if you head over early everything is still quiet but come tt week its chaos,but mad sunday they open the track to the public , so everyone and there dog is out,to much traffic for me,but go you'll have a good time drink some beers with bikers from around the world,oh and while no ones watching ride as quick as you dare,just watch the rock walls,trees,humps, cambers,etc.....

29th May - 2nd June (that covers Mad Sunday)
Its £149 return from Heysham to Douglas.
£4.75 PPPN for the campsite and around 150-200 quid petrol food and BEER money.
Probably/ hope I dont speand that much but its better to be safe than sorry.

Yep, its cheaper to fly, but your paying for the bikes to be shipped aswel. Would obviously be alot cheaper as a foot passenger, but wheres the fun in that?
