I'm booked for the TT and will very probably do the classic too, went to the classic last year, brilliant event, got talking to John McGuiness, total gent, brilliant to see legends such as Agostini ride, every interesting bike there that you could ever think of, absolutely can't fault it, (top tip, don't camp, that's for idiots, do the home stay, cheap nice COMFORTABLE accommodation, brilliant people).

I thought you said "CAMPING IN LUXURY" for a minute, obviously that wouldn't make sense  ;D

Here's Ago at the 2013 classic.

Got to be done!, Ferry cancellations start on March 10th, you'll have to be determined to get a ticket though!
