I was lucky as years ago there were less restricted viewing/ areas but now some of my favourite bits have to be paid for buy farmers cashing inn, or not allowed anymore. Th speed limits av become more restrictive too. Ie th 50 mph going down threw th cutting just before Brandish can catch you out...!!!
Shall i go again... Yes. If restrictions due to covid are dropped ill av a shake down in May as that month is becoming th driest, then th Manx in late August.
For me now though it's not just th racing i go for its th Island. Its a beautiful safe place that changes th more you get about. Its like Cheshire in th south and th Derby dales in th middle.
As they say... "It's the difference that makes the difference at the IOM"
Go you wont regret it.

I think you're right! One of the friends I mentioned who asked me if I wanted to go still goes every year, I don't think he's missed a TT weekend since the 1970's
