IOM TT 2011

Hi all. Wondered if you had any recommendations/suggestions regarding the TT. Since our annual camping trip (five of us, now all bikers) won't be in the Campervan, our trip next year is a biking one. A popular idea was the TT but I'm absolutely frustrated out of my box at this Steam Packet racket - you steam as they take a packet - the prices are just daft. And a frustrating web site to boot where you've to fiddle about with dates not for a price but a deposit on a ticket with the unspecified balance to pay at a later date. What's all that about!? Having read some horror stories of pub/cafe prices and the like, we're beginning to wonder if the kind of cash we'd spend just getting to the TT might be better spent doing something cool in Europe instead!

Maybe I'll suggest the Op Storm 2011 assuming (hoping - as I've not made it this year) that there is one. If so, one question? Is it still the case that I must provide these non-VTR owners with a faulty CCT so they can come?

Best regards

Looking at the prices you lot are paying,

I'm so glad i live here.

And Marra, mountain road not looking the best at the moment with all that snow and ice we have had. Should be good for when you come over tho.

If i had the room i would put some people up for TT. But i don't think the wife would like it if i kicked her out so i could get some bikers in.

And as for the webcams, it doesn't show you the bloody potholes up there. Just had the R1 across today and bloody hell it is a right state.

Let me know when you r here and maybe meet for a :beer:

If you want too?

for anyone thats doing the TT this year please note, as of the 31st march anyone going to the isle of man will need TRAVEL INSURANCE, or you could be left with a very big bill should you need any medical treatment while on the island

Go on Benny, just do it. I have a mate who works on the lifeboat. I'm sure he will look out for you?
