After our being able to visit to Isle of Man for August Bank Holiday due to us having both Vaccines, a requirement to get through Isle of Man Border. Hopefully with them having a great strategy and great vaccine rollout to control this terrible virus they can go ahead with TT2020. Whether or not you will still need vaccine status to go to TT is any ones guess. Lets hope all goes in a positive direction and we can get to the best bikers party and road racing the world has on offer   |

One good thing about 2022 TT is that it is all paid for as its all been brought forward from 2020. Good for the wallet next year. |

The bushys village for the bank holiday weekend was good but it wasn't the same and when it's there for TT. May have seen you in there as spent a bit of time in there aswell |

Its always worth booking TT. You will be limited what ferries are available so you won't be able to pick n choose. Think February Steam Packet release all the unpaid bookings, again that will be limited for 2022 as most have been carried over since 2020. Get something booked when you can, then you know you have a crossing |

I think it's more likely that the TT will go ahead next year, obviously it depends on what new variants of Covid appear before then.
I'm getting lot of TT stuff on Facebook, new rules and safety measures brought in for next year. Including, reducing the grid for the races, only 60 starters now allowed I think. Plus all race bikes and travelling marshalls etc will be fitted with GPS sensors. |

We used to stay here many years ago before we stayed with friends. Good bar, food is ok and like poster says not a bad price. However not sure they do this for Manx as it was always just a TT thing for them, contact them and ask the question |

We've heard about it. Our main priority these days are to catch up with friends. Been going to the rock that long, racing is 2nd priority now. We just love the whole place as well as the Island coming alive during race weeks |

We haven't been going to Manx long, not as long as TT which every year for over 20 years, but what a great time we have had.
We were thinking this year at TT to to Laxey every morning for a cold dip in the sea before breakfast. We just seen the news updates yesterday about pollution in Laxey and Peel so we are rethinking that idea now. |

Its the marshals that make the whole thing happen, respect to all of them. Get that mountain ride sorted, we are sure you will get a few of us up for it. When you sort a meeting place for us all let us know |

Couldn't have said it better. We for two have missed TT, we were over last August Bank Holiday. Was our first time out and boy did it hit the spot after a little apprehension. Ended up at the front of the stage at the Bushy's festival. We even remembered how to dance in front of a band |

"Not long to go before the craziness starts, how it’s been missed for the last couple of years x
Couldn't have said it better. We for two have missed TT, we were over last August Bank Holiday. Was our first time out and boy did it hit the spot after a little apprehension. Ended up at the front of the stage at the Bushy's festival. We even remembered how to dance in front of a band
I work in hospitality and whilst we got through the last couple of years, we are now gearing up for the start, even had a chat with one of the monster guys last week through work. All start to become real again "
Well it's only 3 months away |

Hands up if your booked up for the TT surely there’s more than a handful of ‘fabbers’ going !..what’s your favourite watering hole while your there ?..& who’s your money on for fastest laps in 2022?

"Hands up if your booked up for the TT surely there’s more than a handful of ‘fabbers’ going !..what’s your favourite watering hole while your there ?..& who’s your money on for fastest laps in 2022?
Fastest lap, let's hope its McGunniss. We always go to pubs in Douglas, a lot of great pubs around town and on the Marina "
I’m a big Mcguiness fan but my money this year is on Pete Hickman ,it’s nice to see the up and coming new comers doing well too .
I think Davey Todd is one to keep an eye out for ..Douglas has such a great atmosphere during TT week & yes the British on Douglas Quay makes for a good night for food & drink !
Not long now !! |

Yeah fingers crossed and as you say a lot of internal politics. I know a few marshalls that have scooped me up from track over the years and none of them are going.  |

As we’re getting so close now anyone fancy meeting up socially while you’re all over? I expect it’ll be like herding cats but worth a try!! |

Our friends arranged a little social in a pub in Douglas for 2019 TT. Had a lot of interest but only one couple from the Island turned up and 3 other biker couples so yes herding cats is about right. Have to say though that if you don't try you will never know, always good to try we say

It’s always the same but as you say if we don’t try… I’m in Ballaugh so maybe the Raven or Ginger. Being local we’d have to be discrete about how we all knew one another LOL! I’m up for a social with anyone, always nice to meet new people. Happy to show people about and help anyone that needs anything.., got a very well equipped garage and pretty handy with a spanner. Any one coming with off road bikes… I know the trails very well. |

Well it doesn't look like our idea of a ride out social during TT to the sound went down well so when this thread fills up, just another 2 posts, we'll leave it there. There is another TT 2022 thread not long been started by another couple so we'll leave it to that thread. Most of all people, have a great TT and be safe. Hopefully we'll get to meet up with some of you while we are there |
