TT 2019

Do you get the impression that maybe many have had enough of the overpriced ferries? Places still left race week with 3 months to go? Or is this normal?

Looks like it. At £277 for bike and rider, you really would have to want to go.

Me and my friends have oaid for the ferry and they are bloody expensive. Their not even nice times we are leaving at. Both evening crossings so we will be traveling in the bloody dark. I did ask for earlier times but they said all they had were foot crossings. This was sold by an agent

Wouldn’t surprise me one little bit tbh, they’ve ripped people off for so many years it comes as no surprise that bikers are beginning to say enough.

It’s called killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.
