depends on ferry, accomm fuel, spends beer food etc, if we go out on the thurs we can watch the senior on the fri, there may be superbike racing on the sat and we can ride the course on sun, mad sunday is actually the week before but the island is still in one way mode so we can have our own mad sunday and catch a late ferry home OR do whatever you like, Im not tyrying to organise what we all do or anything, Im going, be nice to have some mates along as well but how you get there and what you do when you arrive its entirely up to you guys

Edit; should have added that however you want to get there or whenever you want to get there Im still happy to book things for people, Im like that me

Hovis, the 'track' is open when there is no racing. A few people go out early morning for a couple of quick laps before the racing. I will be one of those select few if I go.

Well, its quite something to sit at the Creg-Ny-Baa being so close to the riders that you could punch them off their bikes. It's not much different to track racing but maybe it is. I dunno, racing is racing and these guys are against the clock.

Hovis, my sentiments exactly. I tend to fall asleep watching F1, and MotoGP isn't that much better for me.

But the drinking & "track" time...

Well that's sorted then, we'll start by the houses in ramsey where the climb starts, the finish is after the creg-ny-baa. Last one there buys the brekkies

Looks like a good idea by you guys, you can have a great time at TT.

No discounts though i'm afraid Stewie i think it was who was saying before.
If anything you want to watch out for where you eat etc...

Hopefully i'll be able to take some of you for a run round the course. Also in the meantime if you wanted to see what the course really was like, don't come at TT i know that alot of bikers who come over for a cheap long weekend out of season, the roads aren't full of thousands of other bikes trying to go round and round with a load of police slowing you.

Even now in this easter holiday there are quite alot of english plates over, and therefore the police number has risen, this weekend the police bike is out and pulling over to catch people with his speed camera.

TT is well worth a look just once because i will gurantee you'll want to come every year, i did before i moved here. There's so much to do aswell other than just pure racing granted the racing is unique aswell. The island is well worth a look pretty much from now through too the end of september !
