manxie49 Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) TT Racing is just around the corner again and I wanted to wish everyone attending a happy and safe fortnight, one cautionary note though, there are regeneration works taking place along the Douglas Promenade, its causing a real bottle neck for traffic and that's before 40,000 fans arrive on island, when the roads are closed for racing it could be a problem. If possible I'd advise everyone who can to do what I'm going to do during road closures .... avoid the promenade. All the best folks and have fun "> Edited May 17, 2019 by manxie49 Quote
Westbeef Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Loved it last year and gutted not to be going this year, I'll be in Gran Canaria with the Family instead. Hopefully I can find a pub that will stick ITV on for me Quote
skyrider Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 up until recently I used to marshal for the TT and the MANX and really enjoyed it up on the mountain Quote
skyrider Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 my first one was in 87 and I went every year till five years ago, it certainly is an experience Quote
skyrider Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 a guy that used to work at the same company as me is doing the TT for his second year he won the manx a couple of years ago on the super twins Quote
Marino Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 It is in my bucket list, unfortunately newer at home when show goes on Quote
manxie49 Posted May 17, 2019 Author Posted May 17, 2019 The TT is a real experience for bike fans, riders here from all over the world, the real killer is the cost of getting here and the lack of accommodation, if you can find accommodation it costs an arm and a leg. If anyone is coming, especially for the 1st time and they want any info drop me a line Quote
