    So,

    I will be going to the IOM MGP next year with a friend. Wondering if anyone else is going on here?

    Usually go over to the IOM 3 times a year, for the classic TT/Manx GP and 2 of the Southern100 events.

    For 2017 just going over twice, for the Southern100 Pre TT Classic and TT practice also over for 10days for the Classic TT/Manx.

    I think the 2day trial in 2017 is being run in July, the weekend after the Southern 100 International races.
    Don't know when the Classic 2 day trial will be run in 2017.
    Dave.

    Kelvin, The Classic TT/Manxgp practice doesn't start until 19/08 and races start on Saturday 26/08.

    If your dates are correct you'll only get 4 evenings practice sessions, depending on your departure times on the 24/08 from the IOM.
    Just wondering if you've made a mistake with your dates mate.

    Dave.

    Hi Dave
    Thanks for the heads up, the reason why I did this was because it was a lot cheaper than going from the start of practise/race week and going home at the end of practise/race week. Also my friend who is coming along has a band gig on the bank holiday weekend so there was no option. It would also help me get to know my war around before the event begins, last 2 times I have been I was following my dad and didn't really notice where I was going.

    Kelvin, you didn't sound patronising at all, but you could always leave a couple of pints behind the bar at the Railway Station Hotel, Port St Mary for me as a good will gesture ;):):)

    I'm offshore again, but home for the Ulster GP, so will be doing a week touring, camping and watching the racing, did it this year for the 1st time and loved it.
