Has anyone ever been?

How much cash did you manage to blow?

Has anyone ever ridden from the south east of the UK?

Recommended or not??

You won't like it, it's sponsored by Monster Energy.

I went this year, cost around £450 for a car via steamracket, camp site was about £90 (Glenlogh) between union mills and balagary, that's about it. (I can't remember how to spell the names properly, sorry)

We stayed for 9 days.

Didn't like taking a car as there was nowhere to park during race days and therefore stuck to walking or minibuses, if I go again, it'll be on the bike.

I'm from London and split the journey up by going to a work meeting in Birmingham, It's quite a long way but shouldn't be too bad as long as you don't have trouble in the seat after an hour.

Night life is what you make it, go to Douglas and have fun or stay at the campsite and watch the band that's on for the evening.

HTH

The second one, only time you need a pass is to get on the grandstand at Douglas, need to get in quick on that, most race days were sold out by the Friday a week before.

All other places, churches, pubs and the like are just pitch up and enjoy, a church near union mills charged us £2 for a chair however.

Ahh some do that just to wind you up was the same at beach hop, except it was a beer tent with scantily clad women strutting around haha, I wasn't complaining!!

Well if your riding up there feel free to let me know, may just tag along with!

Any one else had any experiences at the Isle of Man event?

£334 for 2 + bike (they don't release the price you pay until it's too late).
Cronk Aashen farm. £8 a night for camping with free showers, cooker, microwave, fridge and freezer. Coin operated washer/dryer.

Sat in Nobles grandstand for free because I'm a geezer...It was crap.

I loved riding the circuit almost as much as the racing. The people I met were varied and friendly. An English lad had trouble with his Hornet and 3 Dutch blokes went with their van picked it up and fixed it. (You pay them in beer )

It's fecking awesome and that is the correct use of awesome, not this modern day jive.

Best holiday in the world but I think doing gayness is still illegal so stick to girls.

It's called a cum cover. Supposed to hide jizz stains on the tank.

Many years ago I was on the Island for the races and we bought a stone of damaged kippers as that was the cheapest way to buy them and we could just eat kippers for a week. I was having rather a lot of success with the ladies and my mate Bob asked how I did it so I explained that as the kippers matured they were giving off juices that made me irresistible if I put a dab behind my ears. Bob overdid it a bit and stunk for the rest of the TT.

I've found that most Bobs overdo it one way or another.
You won't many Bobs who are like Colins. Oh no.
Whereas an Andy...Well you think you know what you're getting...but they always manage a surprise.

It's called a 'baglux' cover and it's used to secure a tankbag of the same name. The name not being Bob.
