my kind'a place

“Were you planning a wheelie there, Sir,” said one cop to a German-looking fella who was revving his lime green Kawasaki Ninja. “Nein Sir, I vas not,” he replied.
I watched from our table on the patio, expecting a nasty outcome. Like most riders, the guy had probably imbibed a bevvie or three.
“Well,” said the cop in his broad Manx accent, sounding like a cross between a northern Englishman, an Irishman and a Scot. “We only let you ride on the promenade if you can wheelie for more than 20 meters. If you can’t, you’ll have to take the back roads.”
“Vaaaattt?” said the confused German.
“Wheelie. You must wheelie. So make it a good’n,” replied the law.

Watched the vid, lost count of how many times I would have died...


Don't know how I survived my 20's on one of those.

(my Grandmother HATED my motorcycles)

I rarely use the words "bucket list", but IoM is on mine.

I think I'd rather go when the TT crowd isn't there and just tour around the island in a rental car. After that, maybe return and see an actual TT event.
My Dad went to Ards and saw TT races.

As long as that's the last thing on your list, I don't see a problem with going while they are there.
