Isle of Man TT 2012

[Bikermole]

After getting TT: Closer To The Edge for Christmas, I have decided to go this year.
I am staying with some bikers who all promise a lap of the course on their bikes as pillion (2011 GSXR1000, 2011 S1000RR and 2011 Fireblade)
Everone I'm staying with has raced in the past and so it promises to be a good week, and of course, I will be taking my GoPro with me. The flights are booked, everythings sorted, and I'm buzzing for it.

So,

Is anyone else going/has been in the past, it certainly sounds like fun!

I'm not, a member of my bike club (Oakley Motorcycle Club) Grant Wagstaff is racing, and I believe some club members are going to spectate.

Good luck, , Will be going towards the Manx or Southern100 time due to it being quiter & will be able to get more hours on the track rather than looking over your shoulder to see a R1 getting closer.

You will love it.

That's a great deal, I.was quoted £380 for coming and tent hire. Plus an extra £220 for the ferry! In the end, flights were 220 and I'm paying £25 a night to stay in a house in peel

Thats why you need to get friend on the island .

I only need ferry tickets & can choose premium lounge or standard. only difference is I'll be able to sit down on premium.

So really £180 for me, + Fuel money, shouldn't be more than £5 a lap.

Take a camera, & get a view from the pillion. Heres what mine looks like in Standard Def.
