This slide is marked 'TT' but the bikes look more like production racers than GP bikes? so wondering if this is the Manx GP?
I am obviously not local to the Isle of Man (sorry for that) and I've perused many online images of many locations on the island,
but cannot find any building that looks remotely similar to the one in the photo .. possibly torn down?

Brief question is... can anyone please identify the name of this corner and the establishment in the background?
TIA, regards and happy new year, steve

Right, I'm 99% sure that the first rider on the 125 Honda is Nev Watts.  The helmet design would be correct for him.  I don't think this shot was taken during a race though.  The 2nd bike looks to have green number plates, indicating a 250, so I think this is a practice shot.  Borje Jansson was entered in the 250 on a 'Yamasaki'  but I'm not convinced its him.  The aspect of the pic is a bit skewed making the 2nd bike very narrow but it could be something like a 250 Ducati - there was one in the race ridden by a J McNeil about whom I know absolutely nothing!  Is it possible to make out the rider's number in the original shot?
