I Can't honestly say! But really, you kind of need a bike...Some of the viewing places require nothing but. If you we're to gwoogly motorcycle rentals Isle of Man , you will find some very decent people to deal with. You will also find that they are almost all booked out, but people drop out for all sorts of reasons. And you don't need a bike EVERY day . Check it out!
And mate, people tend to look after each other.. Just GO.

And I tend to think 'Hard Core' is somewhat of an understatement........

For anyone thinking of making it to the Manx GP this year, it just got even betterer... http://www.mcnews.com.au/NewsArchive...CLassic_NZ.htm

Just off to the lotto shop which is a funny thing. I have no real interest in money. Why think about something you don't have, eh? But. Seeing opportunity's like this I wish my parents had worked harder.
I hope that wee bike knows what it's in for.

BOOTLACE · 03-20-2013, 03:37 AM

Oh I'm sure it does! Good luck with the lotto. Hope to see ya there

It was one of the highlights of my trip when I went for the Centenary. Got to meet a couple of heroes, including these two:

And J. Surtees.

And this guy, who (at the time) I didn't know from Adam,

yet had a pleasant chat as I took pictures of the bike parked next to his spot at the airfield.

Rest of my crappy photos here.

Oh, and there's this:

I'm glad I found this thread. Reminds me that I need to get to the Manx. I understand it's much lower key than the TT weekend. This may be the year.

Cool! See ya there. You know what I'll be riding, keep an eye out.....and we'll be camping out the back of the grandstand again.

Cheers!
