just noticed the price rise for the manx gp, year before last I went on a bike as usual and it was £108 return to Belfast. last year took landrover and trailer for the bikes and 5 people it was £340. looked tonight for bike and rider [ loads of spaces left] and its £208. bloody hell what happened there ? the numbers go up everyone gets keen and it doubles in price. :'(  still going though, oh by the way im taking my wife and two kids for two weeks end july beginning august , landrover and four people £270. something not right there boys.

Why do you think it's known as "The Steam Racket Company"

 ;D aye been calling them that for years, but isn't it ironic they call it the classic TT and pay the top TT boys [with the exemption of amour] a fortune and who pays ? I liked the old manx to be honest. especially at half price.

Tis a bit like my wifes favourite hol at centerparcs, as the kids reach school age and hols need to be in term time, the same accomodation goes from £300 to £1000.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock
