Capo at the 2016 Isle of Man TT
OK, I'm on the way for the 9th trip to this magical place, now on stopover in London to visit a bud. I'll land tomorrow, pick up my rental motorcycle, and the adventure begins. Marshaling in Bray Hill come Wednesday, and my two mates from NJ join me over the weekend. Would love to hold a CB1100 rally at the TT one year, and I've got the drill down pat for anyone wishing to do this.

I'm also covering the TT for motorcycle.com again, and here's my first column. There are links, in blue, throughout the article to some of last year's columns as well. Stay tuned for much more over the next two weeks.

Probably others.

Thanks Capo. Your reports from last year's event were a great read.

I'm also really looking forward to your reports again, Capo. As I seem to be be destined to have to make regular trips to the UK, I'm up for timing one to coincide with a CB1100 rally on the Isle of Man.

I've been remiss, it was an intense, active and fun trip, and the TT didn't disappoint. You can poke around motorcycle.com for my reports, I did 4 total, but here's the latest on the color of the fortnight. Video to follow in a few days. http://www.motorcycle.com/features/out-a...an-tt.html

Well done, Capo! Excellent articles. I would love to make a trip with my boys to the IOM to watch the races. You paint a vivid picture of all that goes on. My heart breaks for that poor umbrella girl.

Good piece, Capo. Might go and check out the IOM sometime sans TT in anticipation of getting there when it's on.

I'm looking forward to the video.

I really enjoyed this piece.

This in particular gave me a good chuckle:
"Had enough museums yet? No, you haven’t."

(I went on to read the rest, you of course were right.)

Still on my bucket list...
