Important Notice to all possible visitors to the Isle of Man this year.

You will now have to take out private Health insurance before traveling to the Island, if you don't and have an accident then YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY for any Medical treatments and repatriation home.

I am not sure if this is for racers or public???????

Think it's aimed at the public. It may actually curb some of the scary nutters riding stints.

i read about this last week , i think your right C , apparently any emergency treatment is free but if you need further treatment after that you will be charged a fortune unless your covered with insurance , maybe this will deter the "nutters" but i doubt it , they have probably introduced this due to the large amount of crashes last year

its come about due to a break down in an agreement between the isle of man government and our government , it also means any islander needing treatment on the mainland faces the same charges


im still trying to figure out how folks kept crashing at windy corner when its got a 40 limit , there was also quite a few crashes at the 32nd (prob cos they bottled it)

I read about this last week.

I think my bank account gives insurance or offers it, I will check apparently tbs is good, my folks had to use it and got all their cash back.

Are they trying to kill off the TT all together. Each time i go back to the TT i seem to find more
things to say to myself ,Is it worth going back anymore . Ever increasing Prices,Poor quality accomodation,Road restrictions, Now private health care . (What next ) ???? .

.

If it was not for the good times we have over there i would never go back.

Thought you weren't going back again anyway, due to them enforcing more and more road restrictions, killing off a lot of the entertainment, putting up more and more viewing restrictions, Etc., etc., etc.

I do agree about the accomodation I think they need some good Travel Lodges or Premier Inns to provide the bikers with some kinda half decent accomodation.

im the same as you. i thought they would have had a premier inn or travel lodge by now. but after thnis year we wont be going back.

That's a bummer for you guys. But like I say if they invested in decent accomodation it would make it so much more comfortable for the bikers.

Anyhoo enjoy yourselves this year - I hope the sun shines on you all and you have a great TT.

a travel lodge wouldnt survive or it would put the B&B's out of business. There is the Hilton

To get medical cover for 1-2 weeks is not expensive.
It's not as if you are having to join Bupa.
Get medical insurance from Boots.
