    Isle of man sounds gay. You should check out the isle of Mann though. Cool motorcycle racing there. Its insane. And less gay

    I'm planning to be in Dublin during the TT, also trying to figure out logistics for a weekend or day trip. Never been before. Looks like its only camping spots left now?

    Re: Isle of Man

    It's actually spelled both ways...

    The Isle of Man ( /ˈmæn/; Manx: Ellan Vannin,[4] pronounced [ˈɛlʲən ˈvanɪn]), otherwise known simply as Mann (Manx: Mannin, IPA: [ˈmanɪn]), is a self-governing British Crown Dependency, located in the Irish Sea between the islands of Great Britain and Ireland, within the British Isles. The head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, who holds the title of Lord of Mann. The Lord of Mann is represented by a Lieutenant Governor. The island is not part of the United Kingdom, but its foreign relations and defence are the responsibility of the UK Government. Although the United Kingdom does not usually interfere in the island's domestic matters, its "good government" is ultimately the responsibility of the Crown (i.e., in practice, the Government of the United Kingdom).[5]
    I was there for the TT in '06. Stayed at the Sefton in Douglas (very nice!). Didn't rent a car. Easy to get around! DO IT!!! Some pics here...!

    Not to be confused with Dick Mann. But he was quite the racing man at the Isle of Man.

    Re: Isle of Man

    It's on my list of things to do whenever I head across the pond, but probably won't happen for a few years. I need to also figure in a way of getting up to the Mach Loop in Wales as well.
