I like to feel I am going off somewhere new for a wee adventure.
Cornwall is a bit like staying home and going for a ride. You dont even need special bike insurance or medical insurance.
EVEN Carol Nash recovers from Cornwall - that proves it is too close to home

It's called RTT so why not actually do a bit of touring rather than one specific location. We could make a 3 - 5 or 7 day tour across different locations. No real planning just all/most meet up at a certain location on day 1 and go from there. Ride all day pitchup and get pished.
Just an idea, lets have a mass debate.

You've brought to mind the image of Terry Pratchett's character Genghis Cohen and his band of geriatric marauders - principal among them being Mad Angus in his wheelchair with the scythe blades - "a bit slow and clumsy over broken walls, but a demon on the flat"

If your going to the isle man why not try in the second week of july when the southern 100 is on ( tea time / eveing races ) , it's not just a nice place to visit but some races aswell ( if your not in the pub by then ! ) and lets not forget no speed limits outside the built-up areas ( personal best on the moutain road just over 165 mph : 1992 on my old fj1200 ) . I'll be there and you can find me in Peel .
