IanG1 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Any TT fans amongst the Westfield massif? Highlight of my 2 wheeled motorsport year and gets decent coverage on ITV4 plus you can get Manx radio via an app for live commentary. Been over a few times and the racing and atmosphere is electric. These guys have balls of steel if you haven't seen any proper road racing before then I guarantee to will love it plus the island has some great scenery and some great Westie roads. Drives SWMBO mad as a walk around permanatly with earphones in for the whole fortnight tuned to Radio TT LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onliest Smeg David Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Yep - record all TT ITV transmitions and watch when I can enjoy without SWMBO complaining about the loud noise of massed dying cats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_t Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I love the TT - and do the same! I record all the coverage and end up watching it once SWMBO is out The on-bike footage is amazing to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander72 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 i must admit it is one of my guilty pleasure - Guy Martin is a top bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonk179 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Into road racing big time. TT is amazing as is the northwest 200. The Scarborough Gold Cup in September is a great event, really friendly and all the names are present. It's well worth a trip if into bikes. I'm hoping Guy can get his first win this year but I fear the tyco Suzuki just isn't quick enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterg Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Me and now ex-swmbo honeymooned at the 1990 IOM TT and got to see Joey Dunlop in action one of these years I will get back there again but for now TV coverage will have to suffice....

Graham0127 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Was to go this year . Wanted to take dad round for the last time, but unfortunately he died in March. Will likely go next year again with my son. He's 9 and bike mad......races a 65. Next year he'll be plenty big enough to be pillion. I'll take my van with a couple of bikes, one for me to enjoy by myself...BSA Gold Star in clubman trim...and something new with decent brakes for me & Hayden (named after Nicky Hayden....proper nice bloke !) probably Aprilia RSV or 999. Oh and yes I watch it, ride it, love it........ Just in case you hadn't guessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingster Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Went last year for first time in ages, tremendous racing, brilliant weather and superb welcome from the locals. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggydoo Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I went for the centenary celebrations for the full 2 weeks. Took a pick up with r6 in, and a caravan in tow, had beautiful weather for the most time. Just for the record, if anyone was thinking about taking their caravan, don't be put off with the bureaucracy. All the paperwork and permits are worth it, just remember you can only take it to the one site you tell Manx govt, so make sure you are near where you want to be. Suppose it keeps out the pikeys tho! Mental racing tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
