Biker injured after being knocked off machine
Police are warning fans to ride sensibly during the TT Festival - or face the consequences.
It follows the arrest of a biker this morning after an incident in which he overtook another machine on the wrong side.
The second rider was knocked off his bike and suffered serious injuries.
Police say whilst there is no upper speed limit on the mountain, you must ride or drive sensibly.
