I remember when I first went to the IOM, I got off the ferry and struggled for signal. There was a police officer in a car and I asked him if he knew where Nick Crowe lived because he had my stuff. The officer said “of course, follow me”. So I did. Where it was 30, we went 30, where it was 40, we went 40 etc etc. then came the national speed limit… the back of his car dipped down and I was like “wtf do I do”. So I decided to gamble and chase him. 90, 95, 100, 105, 110 and I was thinking “he’s just baited the shit out of me”. We got outside Nicks house and he went “there you go mate, ride safe!” So I asked him basically what the fuck was that about (lol) and then he explained that there’s no speed limit when it’s a national speed limit but he was very stern in that every other speed limit must be obeyed.

You’re not the only one, I was parked up behind the Sulby Glen hotel and a local copper came up and started looking at my car, asking if I’d ‘opened her up yet’ then advised giving it the beans over the mountain when the roads reopened, he then wandered off. His car was a blue Focus ST parked next to me. So I headed in to Ramsey for some fish and chips when the racing had ended and didn’t think any more of it. Headed over the mountain about two hours later back to my digs in Foxdale and I’m doing 60/70 in the pitch black somewhere around Snaefell, and I see blue HID headlights coming up FAST behind me, next thing this blue Focus goes past me like I’m stood still, disappears round a left hand bend and I never saw him again!

That's brought back memories of the MGP in 1990 when me and a mate had a bit of a "cat and mouse" run with the Police from Kirk Michael all the way over the mountain to Douglas. Back then much of the course outside the towns was still unrestricted. Obviously we adhered strictly to the limits where posted but were able to get away from the Police car (Sierra Cosworth) in the unlimited sections until they caught us up at the next town. 😂 We did lose them completely over the mountain however. We stopped at the pit wall and thought "oh sh*t" as the Police car approached some minutes later and pulled in behind us. Needless to say we were absolutely gobsmacked when the police came over and complemented us on our "safe and courteous" riding!! We've not been back to the Island since 2000 but I believe only the mountain road is still unrestricted.

Did both lanes have traffic going the same direction or something?

[@Person01234]

Yes the road is one way for the TT.

[@Make_Boxing_Great_Again]

@@Person01234 But it wasn’t the TT because there were cars there..

[@Person01234]

@@Make_Boxing_Great_Again By "for the TT" I mean during the TT fortnight. When the racing isn't on, the mountain is one-way during that time.

The behaviour of the police may be a reflection of the type of people they have to deal with ?

[@adriansayers7002]

I got caught in a speed trap on way into Kirk Michael back in 97 doing 35 entering a 30 cop hiding behind a bush with a gun. Couldn't believe his attitude, no way to treat fellow bikers and life blood, haven't been back since.

[@michaeltb1358]

No mention of the reason the road ahead was closed. Usually means an accident.

[@TTFluffers]

They told us I wasn't too serious and was open 30 mins later

[@jayhow997]

Manx police are awesome. I got pulled over for doing the same thing ,bike was as close to top gear rev limiter as it had ever been and we got flagged to pull over. We pulled over the police stayed sat in their car, after 10 mins the police waved us off without saying anything. They literally just put us at the back of the queue and shock their heads.

[@Herbster71]

Was there on my old RSV last weekend. I am not as quick as you, was worried about getting in the way. Even though it's one way over the mountain, found it hard to get my head around using both sides of the road. Feels so wrong. The island has changed a lot since my first visit in 96 and Bushys has gone.

[@olilynch7682]

Bushys hasn’t gone mate, it’s just relocated under the plaza on Douglas seafront :)

Yes during tt fortnight

[@dr0elf]

Man, can someone add subtitles of the conversation, please? I really can't understand this lovely accent as a foreigner. And a few explanations would be great as well. Is there only traffic in one direction? Are you allowed to go that fast? Cheers!

[@Person01234]

At the time they rode (during TT week) the road is made one-way, yes. The road is de-restricted at all times so yes the speed is legal, but common sense still applies (dangerous driving is a crime, so doing the same speed recklessly in a vehicle that couldn't handle it well might not be). Obviously these are capable bikes with capable riders and the nature of the road is such that they can do 170 (relatively) safely.

[@dr0elf]

@@Person01234 Cheers for the explanation!

Are cops in the Isle of Man actual cops, unlike the British ones? Do they actually not harass people and go on power trips while ignoring real crimes?
