As much as I’d have liked to be over for the TT I just couldn’t arrange it around work and other holidays etc.

But I am looking at going over with my bike for a weekend in August. Just to explore the island etc.

so I’m looking for cheap digs that have motorcycle parking available, and advice on the must sees while I’m there?

Cheers in advance 😎

I have been to the island before as a foot passenger, loved using the Manx railway etc

More looking for bike related things.

Just discovered the Manx GP starts the weekend I’m looking at going, so that might limit some things with road closures etc

Yeah it usually

Does, around the course but still

Get about. It’s a good time to go as less

Crowded to ride about

Yeah that’s true, unfortunately I’ve not got much flexibility on the dates due to shifts at work

The motor museum in Jurby is something else. Incredible collection.

Ferry and accommodation booked, for 14th - 17th August.

First day of practice for the Manx GP is Sunday 16th, so hopefully I’ll get to see some of that as well as exploring the island
