The Isle of Man TT is back for 2022. Will Dunlop regain the throne? Does McGuinness still have it to over take Joey's record? I'm just glad that the gladiators are back. I miss Guy Martin on the circuit. Live streaming starts May 28th.

I did the IOM TT back in 1987, one of the best 2 weeks of my life despite the first week spent camping in a sodden & muddy potato field.
'Mad Sunday' was particularly memorable. This is when spectators are allowed to do the full course while the pros take a day off from racing. I thought I was doing rather well on my GS650 GT (my pal had a GPz 750) until a crowd of GSX1100's etc came roaring past as if we were standing still
.
To be standing on the pavement (sidewalk) while a group of professional nutters come whizzing by only about 6 feet from you at speeds of 120+ miles per hour is something you don't forget in a hurry.
My pal and I did Assen in 86 and 88 but the IOM was by far the better event both for the racing and the atmosphere. Long may it continue.

Jay.
