2023 Isle Of Man Tt

Discussion in 'Racing & Bike Sport' started by H2pots, May 23, 2023.

  1. Thought I'd start a thread for any gossip, updates, results, times and general chat about the TT.

    Practice starts next Monday (the 29th) afternoon but the tv programmes on itv4 are already up and running with the series called "no room for error" running nightly at 9 pm. It's a good watch, caught up with it this morning.

  4. Have a great time everyone and please come home safe and sound.
    And watch out for those pesky gixer wally's (and matching hoodies over leathers) on the mountain ;)

  5. We arrive Next Friday evening, not ridden the SPS this year, hoping to blow the cobwebs off this weekend.
    Please give the lady on the white 72 plate SV650 a bit of room when passing, she caught the biking bug at her first TT last year and passed her test in January.

  6. I’m riding my Hypermotard up from Devon and catching the overnight crossing early Friday, hopefully in time for last practice day. There all race week. Let’s hope the weather holds up!

  7. I'm 50 50 on taking my hyper....for...Italian night...always good...mental on the Twisties...useless on the mountain, uncomfortable but does set off car alarms when you start it up...

  8. I'm on my hyper too. I'll be at the italian bike in port erin too. Thin attendance last year though, hopefully more will show this year.

    You're quite right about the hyper over the mountain, not the thing for the mountain but excels everywhere else.

    Fwiw... I'm over on the last practice day, Friday morning from heysham, should land early Friday afternoon in time to catch the back end of the last practice session (straight up to the top of bray hill for a first watch). Then off down to port st mary to unload and settle into the digs.

    Home the Sunday after the senior.

    Have a great, safe TT all and I'll see you on the island!

  14. What day is the Italian night at Port Erin? Went several years ago, not a bad turn out then
     
  15. Not sure, info seems scarce.

    It's usually the Tuesday evening of race week but that's a race day i think this year so I'd have thought it's moved days.
