Wonderful to see bikes racing down narrow old world roads and through villages!

I can really identify with Irish weather! We're having the same here in Michigan!

 
These are the lead ins to the IOM. Got a mate over there at the moment. They were at the NW200 last week and he says he was in shorts so it wasn't too bad there.He's in the IOM at present preparing for practise week. Looking after Jay Lawrence on a supersport 1000.
Jay of course rode a Katana in the Classic TT last year.

During the week it was nice, but Saturday was fairly awful with 9C-10C temps, wind and rain. I didn't envy the riders having to go out in those conditions at all. It was miserable enough just standing in a field watching.

Update, bad weather, nothing happening.
 
Wish I was there! I went to the Classic TT/Manx GP last year, what a place! Truly Mecca for motorcyclists. Even without the racing it was better than any bike show. Rare and unique bikes everywhere!

I would love to go to the IOM, but I figure to do it without a "tour guide" it would be tough for a first timer. So I put the NW200 on my bucket list. Dont know my geography, but as long as your in that neck of the woods how about this? Not trying to hijack the thread...Thanks for the great posts!

I went over to the Ulster Gran Prix in 2011 and the Armoy "Race of Legends" in 2015 and had a great time at both. Weather makes or breaks the meet. I have a friend who I met here (GSR) who took me to the races once I got over. His house seems to burnt to the ground last night and I may need to make other plans in 2022 for the UGP 100th meeting.

I went to the NW200 this year with my wife and a buddy and his GF. It was also a substitute for the IoM due to difficulties finding accommodation and stupendous pricing of everything at the IoM. Had no local guidance for the NW200 but I did get some decent advice from people on an email list I am on. It was no issue to book accommodation, prices were reasonable and the people all around the area were very friendly and helpful. As Charlie G says, the weather is a big unknown and can really mess the works up. It was about 50/50 for us, with great weather all week, including the Thursday races, but rain and crap on the Saturday that significantly affected the racing. IMO, overall it was a great experience and very worth the trip despite the weather issues.

If you have any questions about it, PM me and I will answer what I can.
