IOM TT 2015

[AndiSun]

I really need to hurry up and book the ferry for next year. Spaces are going fast.

I went to the TT with the old man in early 1990'3 (the year Hislop won both F1 & Senior on the Castrol Honda RC45), both as foot passengers. No issues getting round the circuit on public transport, it was just an awesome week (pizza, beer, Red Arrows, Gary Rothwell stunt show each night etc).

Would love go back again at some point. Will have to try and remember to listen via Manx radio again this year.

I take it the crossings have all been snapped up? Looked last night and could have got something and now I can't get a damn thing Never going to get to the TT at this rate

[Alex@POD]

Apparently, Steam Packet sold over 3000 tickets in the first 10 hours since they released the crossings!

There may be something left if you can go early or stay late, alternatively it seems a few people don't confirm their orders when the balance is due in February, and some tickets become available then.

Cracking weather out there today, sunshine, warm and light winds, loads of bikes lapping.

Just watched onboard from Guy Martin on his practice lap with the BMW.

Fantastic. Hopefully this is his year.

I looked last week and you could still get flights over.

Or

My mate told me that there is a page on Facebook for people selling them. I'm not on Facebook so don't know if it's worth a look.

He wants to win and simply thinks that he cannot win on those bikes. You can just as easily get hurt or killed on a st slow bike as good fast one. So why try too hard on the st one either go home or get a better one.

[FartKong]

There is also a major issue with the bike where its sucking oil into the airbox. Both the Milwaukee and Mar Train bikes are doing it. He has apologised to the team and thanked them for what they've done.
