The Isle of Man is one of the most storied motorcycle racing circuits in the world, and holds a special place in the hearts of motorcyclists everywhere. If you haven’t yet visited, chances are excellent that you plan to go in the future—or, at least, you want to go. Even if you’ve been watching the TT for years at home, there’s a world of difference between watching it and actually riding that road course.
Enter the new Motorcycle Island series from Bennetts Bike, which takes you deep into the heart of the IOM so you get a better sense of the whole picture. In this first episode, we get no less a tour guide than John McGuinness, MBE, to advise the proper methods for tackling the mountain. He’s taken Honda IOMTT rookie and BSB sensation Glenn Irwin under his wing, and both Irwin and moto journo Michael Mann get the benefit of his on-site instruction.
