errrmmm well I went to the TT last year and thought it was amazing, I haven't been to the NW so on that reason alone i would pick the NW one to go to.

I've never been to either, but the bloke that lives over the lane from us races sidecars in the TT (10th and 14th this year), so I'd probably go to IOM to watch him

Defo the TT. Just back and it was AMAZING, the craic, the people, the racing its all good. The NW is also good, but theres no sidecar racing which i really enjoy watching.

Been to both and for me,IOM,hands down,for several reasons,
1 The Mad Sunday experience
2 Cheap Booze and long pub opening hours(pubs can remain open all night if they like!)
3 Nightlife
4Stunt Shows on the promenade
5 Atmosphere
As for the racing,the NW200 is a better race to watch as its around 40 bikers,all let go at once rather than the TT where they each start at 10 second intervals.
NW definetley be a lot more exciting to watch but I think the best race we have over here is the Ulster GP as oposed to the NW.
