Yes it's great fun hardly see any cars for two weeks just thousands upon thousands of bikes and bikers from all over the world mixing with racers some world stars others working out the of the shed at the bottom of the garden, the racing is awesome and mad Sunday well it's mad!

I have been once or twice... per year :)

You better book quick, most of the ferry slots and hotel accommodation will have been sold several months ago

Went the once in 1986 - the era of Joey Dunlop winning everything.

4 racers and 5 spectators were killed during the week as far as I can recall.

I thought the speed the Racers got up to was insane then but they are lapping at least 10MPH faster now.

How you can react to a weave and wobble at 180MPH plus while riding on a public road with dry stone walls on either side I have no idea.

The whole week is madness really but has to be done at least once!

Not a massive fan of Ducati but that engine is so distinctive in the first clip at 1:32
