Moderator DirtyDT Posted July 4, 2011 Moderator Posted July 4, 2011 I would rather go to watch the Tour de France for the duration than the week at the IOM. If you had a choice, and could only go to one, which one would it be?
Moderator Cynic Posted July 4, 2011 Moderator Posted July 4, 2011 done it the TT, would you believe the MC club i was in moaned i wasn't a commited biker cos i missed their rally posted over mad sunday weekend. HUH. I quit there and then idiots. 2 days in a field in Northants or 10days in the mecca of british motorcycle racing. You can never get the full effect of the tour, you would only see a little bit then its gone. Traveling all the time. TT days are wake up, shower off hangover, watch race, drink. As a couple without kiddies me and the wifey had a rare old time, were still surprised we did'nt have a kiddy nine months later, nudge nudge the bikes wasn't the only tank that was running low by the time we got home. I'm almost tempted to not do the TT again cos it would never be as good.
Moderator DirtyDT Posted July 4, 2011 Author Moderator Posted July 4, 2011 Cracking post. It had me in fits.
Moderator mervin Posted July 4, 2011 Moderator Posted July 4, 2011 Yes the tour is a nightmare people camp in their camper vans beside the road for days in advance to get a good spot and it is over in minutes
Leatherat Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Motorcycles or Childrens toys.......Hmmmm, let me think........No contest.......IOM on the telly everytime!
Mr Machinist Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 No brainer... TT for sure... but its a bit of a wet walk for me...
2 Wheels Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I'd head for France,,,,watch the bicycles (cant spell) for a while, then find the nearest open-air bar,,,,find a big compy lounger,,,,drink pints and get me a suntan

Moderator DirtyDT Posted July 5, 2011 Author Moderator Posted July 5, 2011 I would join you 2 wheels. Bring a big wallet
bonzoid60 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I wouldn,t bother with either of them, no interest in bicycles, too much hype & bullshit at the TT. I,d save me money for the Manx Grand Prix.
blackhat250 Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I,d save me money for the Manx Grand Prix. Yeh" . I was thinkin about it this year,,, its the week before squires tho ... is their no ferry"s other than fleetwood/ liverpool, ?

Don,t know about ferries but the Manx is well worth a look. They,ve rejigged the race schedule & expanded the post classic classes, should be good!
