On mine as well.

Wanted to go in 2006, but couldn't make the dates.

Went to The Goodwood Festival of Speed instead as well as some other motorhead activity in Southern England.

Had a blast.

IOM someday

I have watched many minutes of video.  Absolutely crazy stuff.  would love to see it in person......from a safe distance.  I am sure if they party like they drive, it would be one hell of a night life.

 

[MAN OF BLUES]

worked with an electrical engineer for may years who came from there, his parents lived on the Isle, and every year he asked me if I wanted to go stay there at his parents house, for the race... he wasn't into bikes, he just wanted to hook me up as a pal...
His parents seemed extremely cool, and they sincerely welcomed me to come over when we all spoke on a conference call in 2007 ( of what I could understand... man, I needed subtitles to understand them... :rotflmao: :rotflmao: )
it killed me to not go, as every year it seemed like my workload, or money, refused to co operate..

someday...

We went there last summer from Dublin. Rented bikes and were led around the Mountain Course by a great tour guide. Highly  recommended!

Will it be on TV here. If so what channel?

 

[mcfly]

It's usually 'highlighted' over a few nights on the Velocity channel.

I went in the 80's. Awesome watching the bikes flash past, but ya see more on TV. Parties are epic but be warned it is ****ING expensive in just about all areas. In '84 I spent nearly 600ukp in one week including travel, lodging, food and beer.
In today's money yer looking at $1500 plus flights for one week.

I went to the 2013 TT races for two weeks. Did a home stay right on the course and it was an amazing experience. I also went back in 2014 to the MGP in the fall and stayed with the same family.

Here is a link to a post I did at the time.

All I can say is GO! Don't hesitate and just do it. It will be the best motorcycling experience of your life.
