Unfortunately not yet but hopefully one day. Watching it on the TV as usual and as impressed as usual it's just the most mental thing in Motorsport and maybe all of sport. Thought the bikes topped out around 190ish though?

It was Peel day here yesterday and it was rammed. Good atmosphere this year.

Not fussed about the bikes, but the Isle itself is a wonderful place, particularly down by the Calf. Probably the best place for pubs in the UK as well, and nice folk.

Me and my mates used to go to the Manx GP, it was the amateur version but a great time and a little less busy. Douglas is a great drinking town, saw some good bands there and always had a great hassle free time. Got up one morning and rode the full course in 35 minutes with regular traffic on the road, we were moving right along but still got over taken on the mountain section by some crazy motherfuckers. Love the place and the event!

I'd sail right past and get to Ireland. Now that is a top top place.

Just got back yesterday after a long weekend there.

For anyone that has never been but always wanted to, go, just go!

Incredible watching the bikes go round at such speeds and those riders are something else.

The birds in bikers leathers aint too bad either ;-)
