Come for the Manx, Mike. Classics (well - replicas) thrashed in anger, pre-65 two day trial, a much bigger Vintage rally than the TT can accommodate (join the VMCC, get a suitable bike and you can take part in the closed-roads run)

I have always rated the Manx fortnight higher than the TT - the right crowd and no crowding.

PS bring your thermals, it's a few degrees cooler than June

Thanks for the advice Bill, re bringing warmer clothes. I remember many years ago (coming from Australia on my first visit) I actually brought a bikini to the IoM...well...it was summer, wasn't it! Anyway,I have made the decision that the Manx and N.I. are the way to go hence my plans to catch up with you lot at those meetings this year.
