if I ever get to the IoM, it will probably be for the Manx TT (usually held in late August) ... to maybe see bikes like these that they plan to run at the TT in June to celebrate Mr Surtees:

The 1960 MV Agusta that John rode to victory in the World Championship and Senior TT will take centre stage for the celebration lap and feature in a one off display in the Classic TT Paddock along with a number of other iconic machines from the Surtees family collection.

Other bikes include the 1949 Vincent Grey Flash that John won his first race on – a machine, which he considered the most important of his life and a Black Lightening Vincent from the same year. John’s time riding Nortons is also reflected with three bikes from the family collection – an F Norton 500cc Experimental Prototype, a 1959 Manx Norton and a 1953 Works Norton.

I never made it to the Manx. It’s on the cards though. I go to the TT every 2 years. Wouldn’t miss it for the world. Weather is the problem. Couple of times I got there and nothing happens because of rain or fog.
