One thing I know about the Isle of Mann is that Super sprinter Mark Cavendish come from you area. 
He who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend, loses more; he who loses faith, loses all.

welcome in.
i've always wanted to attempt the Isle of man TT. only thing that stopped me is the unfamiliarity of the terrain. not knowing how a bit of shade effects how I can take a corner or at what speed I can crest a hill( bad expeience with that little one at Laconia NH once). I've done some stupidly dangerous things in my life but I don't want to be this year's "that guy" at the TT.

they have set procedures now,you would have to have a license and come over with some  experience of road racing,then there a week of practice before racing,theirs clips on u tube,its not something you can just turn up for..these guys come over for months learning every corner....their have been about 300 deaths on the course ,and every accident is investigated, with every death their are those who want to ban it!

I have everything but the time required to get a feel for it.... stinks that life gets in the way of all my fun  :o :o :o
besides, it's dangerous. I'm trying to slowly trade the tools of my trade in for the tools of my hobby. that's where guitar comes in so handy, it helps alleviate that "naked" feeling my hands get.
