It was rammed. Not just managed to get a seat. Had an excellent breakfast at Studio Umami while watching the couple of hundred bikes parked up outside the old courthouse. Every deckchair taken and the grass outside filled with people. All the cafes were bursting. Back home on the tram and it was rammed. The beach in Laxey was heaving and there wasn’t a parking space to be had. It’s been like that all summer. Huge queues outside both catering establishments. Lots of visitors having lots of fun and spending lots of money and they didn’t seem to be held back by the bike thing whatsoever. You don’t half talk through your ass and you haven’t got a clue what you’re talking about. You have no idea what’s going on here right now. If you did, your ass would be shut. 9 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I've been over to Peel today for two concurrent bike shows on the Promenade, it was rammed too with hundreds there, the prom pubs and eateries have done some trade today. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am new here and so should probably be polite, but what a load of crap. Bikers visit the island from Easter to September in groups. I see them everywhere. Other motoring clubs visit the island all summer because of the TT and it’s history. Porsches, Mazdas owners groups of all sorts and super car clubs. They spend money. Some of them move here and setup businesses here as a result of their TT visit. Motorsport and our motorsport heritage is a huge pull to the island year round. I type this sat in a room with someone who would have never visited the island other than for TT and who now lives here and employs over 60 people. We would normally be in our local pub at this time on a Thursday but it’s rammed with tourists so we have it a miss and are at home.

It's not just been this last week or even the weeks in June. The Island has been bouncing with visitors since Easter. The trams are full every day and the venues and eateries are busy. I don't think I can remember seeing this many visitors for many a year. I know it doesn't fit in with your vision of doom and gloom for us but the reality is that it is nothing like you imagine it to be and your false claim, without evidence, once more, of the bikes putting people off visiting here is just a nonsense. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't live here, you don't come from here. You have no financial, cultural or residential connection to the place. Quite aside from talking complete and utter crap, why the interest? Is the place you've moved to really that dull you can't find anything worth moaning about there, or does the very idea of people (lots of them) having fun really eat away at you that much? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
