It is now an event that just makes people the world over want to drive our roads. As an island, we should really encourage people on bikes and on cars to come here and enjoy our unrestricted roads as much as they want and spend money here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems pretty much everything but the mountain section is restricted to a 50 mph nowadays. At least for the duration of the event. https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/isle-of-man-tt-2024-list-of-roads-with-temporary-speed-limits-691150 Edited May 25 by CallMeCurious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Ingham Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I see the old M&Co store is absolutely rammed with loads of biking gear for the next fortnight, despite all the “experts” here and on Facebook moaning that they would never find a tenant.

HiVibes Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Can anyone explain why there are banners up by the Grandstand that have been printed with just the words Tourist Trophy on? Seems a totally pointless exercise when that banner space could have been sold, and if not sold why is it not used for advertising MNH / VisitIsleofman / locate etc?

There are a number of sections between Cronk-voddy and Ramsey that are NSL normally but are 50 for the next couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
