    Man Vs. Isle - Great Article on the TT

    Usually don't see links to ESPN in regards to racing, but this one's pretty damned good. Can't wait for this year's TT!

    Be polite. Be professional. But be prepared to kill everyone you meet.

    Great story. Thanks for posting it.

    When I read stuff like this, it makes me want to travel back to the Isle. I'll go back again someday. Hopefully in the next couple of years.

    It would be fun to do Mad Sunday with a loaner or rental.

    Lindsey keeps telling me that if I marry her that she wants our honeymoon to be to the Isle of Mann for the race. She's found the best way to hit on me....

    One of the biggest surprises we had on our trip over there, was finding out how pretty the Isle is. It's a beautiful place and everyone is in a party humor the week of the TT.

    That's an interestig thought. Do they HAVE rentals? Would that be a great business venture?
