It is good watching, and I bet it's fun roads to ride as well. However, have a read of this as the Department of Transport are trying to make all the roads there have speed limits on them, just like in the rest of the UK which would mean the end of the TT! Thumbs Down

Yes many are a screw loose. But look at those who go sky diving or white water rafting, same type of person just a different sport.

Hi

The IOM has its own parliament, so our department of transport is irrelevant.

All the best

The TT is a biking institution and part of biking legend, the people who compete are Gods with far greater risks than the normal track.
I would love to go and ride it once maybe not at the absolute limit but just to say i've done it in a respectable time and got my knee down on the hallowed tarmac! Cool
