The TT is fine but Mann is manic with bike's and spectators plus its a time trial not a race in the true sense of the word so take a look at the Southern 100 which is a race series at Castletown on a 4.25 mile circuit, practice Monday and Tuesday evenings, practice and some races Wednesday evening with racing all day Thursday with prize giving in Castletown Square in the evening. Its known as The Friendly Races for good reason.

I watched the NW200 the other day Andy, that was a good race.
I know it's really a time trial but by heck it's good, new Superbike record 134.4 mph, man that's flying.

Shame that Dean Harrison had a DNF in the superbike race, wasn't he on fire for the first two laps.
Amazing as well how Michael Dunlop can turn on the performance, even more remarkable with his tubby frame.
- mind you John McGuinness is no lightweight.  ;)

Love this video a friend of mine posted, shows how close you can actually get to the racing and the last couple of bikes bring home just how fast these racers go.

Just read a great analogy(?) about the TT. It said 'You'll never forget the first time you hear the rumble of the approaching bike, followed by the gut punch as it blurs past you and screams up the road. It makes F1 seem like Driving Miss Daisy in comparison.' I still love F1 though I'd love to go and see the TT.
