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.

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

Like I said you not going to be able to pick what ferry is best for you at this time. It could be they are holding all spare places till February. Give steam packet a call on the phone, they'll give you all the info you need

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 thought that might happen when we seen he had to go due to not agreeing to new rules put in place by ACU. Shame their loyalty is misplaced as its the racing that could suffer. All volunteers and all well respected people by everyone

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.

"Hoping that plans for the IOW TT get the go ahead soon too. Flipping council and nimbies are making hard work of it so far

I may be wrong, so will stand corrected, but did I read the idea had been knocked on the head? "

Just for the last proposed date as far as I'm aware because our local council are idiots and didn't process the paperwork in time

Also all TT races are going to be live to watch via internet, never before has this happened in the history of the TT. Highlights will still be on ITV4

We can't wait 16 weeks Thurs gone and we'll be on the ferry

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

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 !!

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.

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.
