The Isle of Man

I’m not a huge fan of the super bikes, but I enjoy watching racing in just about any form. I have watched the live coverage of it a couple times.

We have the MotoGP here at Laguna Seca, about 10-15 minutes from my house. It’s pretty cool to watch in person, but my wife’s friend who usually hooks us up with tickets for that has been twice to see the Isle of Man live and said it’s way better than our local super bike event.

I've only watched on Tv, through the years as HD 4K etc has improved and 75 inch screen it is amazing at the riders reflexes and vision.

I would love to go see it in person.

It’s always cool watching live sports, but you really can’t beat the TV coverage to get the best views and angles. One of the craziest things about Isle of Man is how close the spectators can get to the action. It’s dangerous just to watch.

Exactly right. I honestly don't ever want to go to a live college football game again. I'd much rather watch it from my own chair and not fight the crowds.

This. It will always be worth it to take someone that has never had the full live experience, but give me my TV right beside my PC so I can get a better watch and discuss it while I'm watching. Oh, and did I say that the beer is a helluva lot cheaper?

I agree with you. I would stay home and watch the entire season at home but my boy, who I brainwashed as a kid, insist on taking in at least 1 game a year with his boys.

So guilt kicks in and I end up going with him and my grandsons to one game, but after last years game, i said I was done.

We will see if that happens.
