Don't forget the Isle of Man TT. My Dad still races sidecars in that. A
37 3/4 mile long race circuit, with races from 3 to 6 laps. Also, the
Isle of Man Grand Prix (same circuit), the Southern 100 (on the Billown
circuit in the south, 4 and a bit miles per lap) and the Jurby Road Race
in the north.

Last year was the 100th anniversary of the TT races, we got something
like 25000 bikes come over, and something like 50,000 visitors (our
normal population is 80,000).


Wow, what a coincidence, earlier this week I was asking in r.a.s.f1 if
anybody had suggestion regarding a possible trip I wanted to take to the
IoM TT this summer, and now I find something regarding it in r.a.p

Could I contact you by email for a few questions, like best way to get
there (plane, ferry), motorcycle rentals, possibility of renting an
apartment for the week instead of going to an hotel? If you have info
regarding these type of things of course, or know where to point me toward.

Thanks.
