Renting a motorbike for TT - crewnutz - 06-03-2008
I plan on flying into Dublin and then traveling from there to IoM for this years TT. I am thinking of renting a motorbike so I can get around the island. Any suggestions on where I can rent a motorbike for this in Dublin?? Is there any place to rent them on the island? Thanks in advance.

I've never heard of any where that rents bike on the IOM and the only places I can think of here in Northern Ireland are the L rider instructor schools.

I think it would be a fool or a crazy man on the island to rent a motorcycle out during TT fortnight, apart from a step-through.
Any other time maybe.

In the 60'S i hired a scooter but it wasnt TT week but it might be an option?

I have looked into this possibility several times over
the last 5 or 6 years and even with local connections/knowledge
I had no success.
I seem to remember a couple of years back, one guy offered his
bike for sale with a buy back clause.
One way around it!

If you a regular at the TT and MGP buy a cheap bike on the IOM and store it my mate did and stored it in the garage at Union Mills it cost him fifty quid to buy but storage is no problem the witch will store it in her den

thanks for all the info!
if a bike winds up not working out does anyone have any info on renting a car on the island such as how much it is? I was told by the people I am staying with that you can rent cars on the island
