TT 2011 is nearly upon us and it's a time when many businesses are gearing up for a bumper fortnight of trade.
But what's it like for those which are right on the course?
Managing director at Michael Car Centre Stephen O'Hara spoke to Beth Espey (first part of audio file):
Someone who will definitely be seeing an influx of customers over the fortnight is Trevor Latus, the licensee of the Raven pub at Ballaugh Bridge, one of the most iconic points on the course.
He told Beth he hasn't been there long and is really looking forward to the TT (second part audio file):
