I've been every year since 2003 ( except this year) ! Riding at 160mph over the moutain mile on a road bike is unforgettable!! better than the Nurburgring IMO
If u get the opportunity, it's worth the trip over.
Glad to say I saw Yer Maun race back in 99. Been listening to Manx Radio at work via internet, looking forward to the racing. Don't think Hutchinson will win a race but you never know. Leave you car at home get on a bike and go. Trust me you'll love it. Petrol heaven albeit on two wheels....
