Default TT 2012!!

Well it's that fabulous time of year once again-TT time!!!

Gutted I'm not there this year (fractured thumb two weeks ago which means I can't ride my motorbike ) but looking forward to the fantastic coverage on ITV 4.

Looking like it will be an exciting year this year!!

Can Guy Martin win his first ever TT or will his lack of time on the bike fail him? Is Ian Hutchinson just not recovered enough to get results or is it the Dunlop brothers year?!

So damned excited and hoping all spectators and riders have a safe TT and come home safe and sound!!

bicycle is not a safe thing to ride during TT fortnight.
I was undertook by a German on a Ducati, i didnt see or hear him coming, while i cornered at 95 on the mountain on L plates in the eighties, and it got worse now that the manx coppers run a one-way system.

I think you can only book or payfror ferry tickets during the tt fortnight when they go on sale in about February of the same year. calm down , if not taking a real motorbike , then consider flying , its not a lot .But you will be disapointed without your motorbike on the public open-road days. dont forget there is no 70 mph limit out of the towns, unless they changed it recently. stay safe.

No you can book the ferries now. No restriction on buying tickets-booked all of ours in TT week for the following year.

I will be there on my motorbike. It's hubby who may choose to take his road bike instead. Had my fair share of scares out there but nothing better than riding a motorbike on the IoM during TT week :-)

I am really hoping for a Guy Martin win but so far he seems a little off the pace.

Guy Martin deserves a win , hes been challenging for so many years.
and his recent tv canalbarge programme was great too!
.
come on Michael Rutter , our local chap.!!!! son of the great Tony Rutter , second only to Joey Dunlop(king of the mountain,RiP) . nice to see one of his sons doing well, good luck.
