Isle of man tt or northwest 200?

Question

been to the tt races loads does anybody recommend the north west 200

Answer 1

The TT is awesome as a race meeting, well organised with riders spaced at regular intervals on dangerous roads with little or no run off for most of the lap.  The northwest 200 is the same but all the riders start at once first time I saw it I thought WTF. Respect with a capital R. Mcguinnes and the boys are truly Mental. To race so close on a street circuit !!!!!!!!!! You got to love it.

Answer 2

Definitely: racing, Guinness & the crac.

The North West 200 is a motorcycle race meeting held each May in Northern Ireland, using public roads. The circuit between the towns Portrush, Portstewart and Coleraine (the Triangle) is considered among the fastest in the world, with speeds topping 200mph, and enters the outskirts of those towns, passing many private houses. To facilitate this, street signs are removed at parts of the track and bales of hay used to wrap the base of lampposts and telegraph poles in case of an accident. It is one of around fifteen events run on public roads between April and October throughout the island of Ireland. In 2006 it was the highest attended sporting event in Island of Ireland, with up to 150,000 people from Ireland, Britain, Europe and beyond descending on the "Triangle" for the week

Answer 3

Northwest is bang on. Only ever been once when I was 16, but would love to go again.

The videos from Duke that come out of the NW look great.

Let us know what you thought of it!

Answer 4

Fantastic!!! Much less scary than the TT. Book early or bring a tent-plenty of fields. Books up as quick as the TT :)
