    OMG its 61 days until TT 2012 kicks off!!! so as i'll be going as usual who else is making the pilgrimage to the best road racing?

    im over from 26th May to the 10th of June, that's Patrice and race week. i cant wait!!!!!!!

    the every amazing PowerRanger and his wife are housing me again and i cant thank them enough for putting up with me that long! the main mission is to outshine last years TT :D and get some serious footage on my new Go Pro!!

    would be amazing to meet up with any 675er's going over as usual, even for a quick chat or even a sprint over the mountain :D

    im also doing the Manx GP this year which ive not been to since i passed my full bike license and that was over five years ago! i found it terribly boring and waay too quite but hopefully in my old age i'll appreciate that more now :p i'll be camping for a long weekend maybe 4 - 5 days in the middle of Patrice and Race week. so if anyone is once again around lemme know!!!!

    god i cant wait!!!! i wont be happy until i touch down on two tyers on Manx land!

    LOL at "mental man on the ST"
    To be honest that statement is more true now than last year, I am massively outriding the bike, it was great fun while it lasted but I am asking the ST to do things it is constantly protesting at which is getting rather scary so may have to change it soon, not sure what to get though, would love the 675R but cant justify the £10k cost :(
    Will most likely still have the ST come TT though. Looking forward to catching up then ;)

    Apart from the races, what's worth seeing and visiting on the Isle?

    I'll be staying at someone local, but maybe someone on here could recommend a few places to visit?
     
  17. dyz everything in Ellan Vannin is well worth looking at , you go once and for myself i`ve not stopped since..
    will be over drag racing the 675 in the 11.10 class or if she pull`s fast enough the 10.10 class but this year i`m out to win the Manx championship , not there just for a trophy , like last year..

    I have not been to TT or Manx before. I am tinkering with the idea this year or visiting the island for the TT. What are peoples thoughts on the best accommodation and itinerary for the trip?

    If you're hoping to take your bike I'm afraid you are mostly likely too late to get a place on the ferry (unless you are coming from Ireland) but foot passenger places should be fine. Or you could fly.
