There's nothing quite like watching them racing three abreast at 200 mph down ordinary roads with white lines, junctions, lamp posts etc.

I don't go for the racing, I go for the atmosphere.

Its what brought me here from the mainland 13 years ago, met the wife and stayed ;D I remember it was getting costly back then and if the weather was bad it made you think twice about coming again. don't suppose its any cheaper now though. bill nutt is doing great deals through the vjmc, £25 bike and rider return. now that's not bad. the organisers have put a lot on for this year, full weeks entertainment and two days racing. Just hope it works for them because they work very hard at it no matter what the weather the welcome from the locals is always first order.
