"I need to get booked up, definitely hoping I don't breakdown"
Been booked for 2 years. Racing format has changed from this year so our booking from 2020 didn't match the schedule for 2022. Amended last night though   |

The best thing about the manx for me is the Newcomers race...thats grass roots racing...hard decision to make this year for me... If you get a chance guys though, get yourself to a national Irish roadrace meeting.. Unreal |

Try the Southern100 in July. Easier to get to and better racing. Castletown is buzzing on race week and the Thursday night prize presentation and party in the town square is great fun. |

I prefer the Manx to the TT as it reminds me how the TT used to be before it go "coperate".
Not been for a few years mind as I can't afford to do everything but it's ace all the same.
Have a great time and I hope the weather gods are smiling.  |

Not any more it isn't. The Newcomers and Ultra lightweight races have been scrapped as well as no Classic TT.
They are trying to fit in with the TT classes, so Superstock and Supertwin races as well as 600's etc.
It's also been shortened, now from the 21st - 29th August.
I did my newcomers race in 1991, ended up in Nobles hospital  |

are the races advertised just locally? That would make a great weekend with my bike.

"It does, but it's what I'm looking forward to the most this year "
We have several things we are looking forward to, even stuff we don't even know about yet. Must agree though Manx is up there with all the other stuff we are looking forward to.  |

Not enough people take the advantage of discovering the island when there. It is an amazing, magical Island |

"Yeah definitely going to do a lot more exploring, as well as some routine visits, such as fairy bridge, sound cafe and castle town drinking session."
We do all 3 of them every visit. We have scattered ashes at fairy Bridge too, don't tell anyone though |

Think many have and why not. Love a castle town drinking session, steam railway there and taxi to bed or bus to Douglas to keep going |

"sadly not a victim of it's own success got to big for the vmcc to cope with voulentarily"
We only went along once, 2019. The sights, the smell. Can you imagine how much in money would the collection of bikes on show and on the track would add up to? Mind boggling |
