It's that time again to start a thread for TT 2026 now Manx GP is over.
Post your TT 2026 stuff here folks.
Let's hope it's better weather for TT 2026.
Our ferry is booked just the balance to pay come February. Doesn't feel like a year since we started TT 2025 thread.   |

Log on to steam packet and have a look, you can't be choosy though as you have to take what's available if there are some crossings |

Hubby and I are all booked up 10 days over race week! My first TT, so very excited! I was a bit of a princess and refused to stay in a tent. So we have a nice shepherds hut booked. No traipsing across a field for a pee in the middle of the night for me! Haha  |

Being a local I hoped the Isle of man’s swinging scene would pick up during TT/MGP but unfortunately I don’t think it does 😔 |

We are doing TT 2026 a little different from previous years. We have stopped with a mate in Douglas for many years taking the bike on the ferry. 2026 we are putting the bike in the back of our newly converted campervan and becoming nomads for 16 days. |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
It picked up a little when I was over in my house in Douglas.
Got about 4 meets done... would have been more but picked up the TT bug when out & about marshaling.
Also seemed to be a huge number of no-shows. Annoying as I was the one able to accommodate.
Must say though, having worked the MGP last year I thought that was a much better event.
TT seemed to attract a totally different type of spectator and not for the better. |

Booked the ferry as soon as the sailing came out, and still not been able to find accommodation,not looking good for Feb. May see if I can shanhe it to the Manx it's a joke. |

Is there much threesome scene in the island for TT? Only went last year for the first time, loved the island and roads, not to mention the people. However left thinking to add to the adrenaline would love to have fun with a couple and never tried. Met one couple and the wife being very pretty, they were a lovely couple. The wife did place her hands on me a few times but honestly the practice session was on so my mind actually just was mesmerised by the speed🤣 |

We've managed one or two meets at TT, not an easy fete to find people and Manx folk it's nearly impossible as they are so apprehensive. |

Put a post on TT Facebook pages. There is alot of accommodation with private people that never gets put on main websites. We've just been offered some in douglas which we ae going to talk to them about it this week. |

Such a shame honestly whats better than bikes and sex… nothing else that I could think of.
Sometimes though its very difficult to know if a couple would even want to have a third. In reality there isn’t any tell tale signs. |

Ahh thanks, I didn’t actually realise… everyday is a school day haha.
Always read profiles, love communication and interacting but when in person and meeting a couple randomly whilst at the island just doesn’t happen.
Even though I have met and enjoyed threesomes or group fun it’s always been at clubs not by chance if you know what I mean. Would be awesome to meet at my favourite island and have a nice sexy week haha. |

Absolutely, have sent messages but its either hoping a couple would read the message out of 300-500 in their inbox or probably not interested in a different ethnicity who knows or if they do message once then never to be heard from again. Haha its brutal in here 🫠 |

Amazing you turned out to be a very lucky biker!! TT and people who came out were all lovely and friendly didn’t meet locals apart from the ones working in pubs etc. The whole Island is cool and surreal with the events. Can’t wait to go back! |

The bike will come out of the van and the bed lowered to sleep in, not much point having a campervan if you can't sleep in it. Wouldn't like to try and get a Tiger 900 onto a bike rack  |

Same here over £10 for good fish n chips. Pot Noodle, why would you even contemplate eating a pot full of crap. There are plenty of great caffs on the island. We've been going to the same caff in Douglas for over 20 years |

It's our first time in camper so we'll find out. Had friends use their camper for TT for many years and they've always dotted around, never go onto sites "
castletown swimingpools reasonable for when things start to get minging always use them when racing at the southern 100 |

We was struggling to find a site that wasnt already fully booked. Ended up posting on a Facebook group and found a farmer that rents his land out for the TT |

I know that I'm way too late for the 2026 TT, but at what point do/can you start booking the ferry for 2027? And if you want to go for the fortnight what is best crossing days/times ie book a day or two before it all kicks off, then the same for the ferry home.
Im trying to get a couple of friends to join me, but we all live in different parts of the country so it's a bit like herding cats to get things organised. |

We booked for 2026 TT the week before 2025 TT. The ferry company releases all the sailing at 8.30am the Monday before practice week. Logging onto their site can take you all morning. You have to be dedicated and patient. When you eventually get onto the booking page enter the days and times you want to go and come back. All about having your date options ready before you log in so you can get it done swiftly, you don't want to get logged out due to you taking to long and dithering. You pay a deposit, usually £90 per booking, then the balance is sent to you November and paid before the end of February. We have just paid our balance today for TT 2026. Hope that helps |

Possibly at TT time, but the ferry DOES take caravans the rest of the year.
I know people who book to take larger vehicles over a week or so before the restrictions kick in, park them up with a local contact, then come back as foot passenger to the UK then return here as foot passenger for the main event.

Just read the rules on caravans. Apparently you need a special permit from Isle of Man Government and to be pre-booked onto an official campsite before booking the ferry. Who knew. |

I listen in to Manx Tadio TT during the course of the festival and in the mornings prior to racing they usually interview the Police, Fire, health care etc abour how theybplan and deal with the gestival. It was mentioned that by the health care workers that they do see a spike in attendance to the sexual health clinic in the weeks following the TT. |

Be sure to get on for the sailings when they get released in May for 2027, I think it could be Monday 18th at 8.30am, it's a scramble and can take you all morning to get onto the booking page |

Yes overpriced, but if you want to go to the worlds best road racing you have to pay to get there. When you are there though it must be the cheapest racing event ever. Where else can you watch the racing for free and only a metre from the road in a lot of places, the bikes nearly blow you off your feet you are that close. So all of that in the mix we think once there, take out the Steam Packet prices, it has to be great value for money. |
