You won't regret going to the classic , I did the TT for many years but stopped going about 4 years ago , I got a bit bored with the lack of variety in machines . Have been to the Classic for the last 3 years and love it , it's a lot more laid back than the TT , the roads are a bit quieter and don't seem to attract the bellends whose enthusiasm outweighs their ability . It's great walking round the pits and seeing all the different machines , it's not everyday you get to see a YZR 500 and an XR69 in the same place , let alone racing against each other ! Unfortunately I can't get there this year , but I'm planning on taking my old enduro bike over next year so I can get from one viewing point to the next on the green lanes and back roads whilst the racing is on.
