A great photo. From that angle you realise it's quite a climb up from the 'dip'

Just a little interlude and typical IoM TT / MGP rider behaviour ... and if it's got 2 wheels somebody will put an engine in it hehe.

If he challenged me to a race and I was on my old exup he'd still beat me 😁
Top man.

RE: Who, What, Where, When?
Ok this is my first dabble and in lieu of any pictures of my own I've gone for an archive image (reproduced courtesy of ABFD).

Hopefully I've got the details right.

Correct and as the history books (don't) show. Pushed in to win.

Looks like I'll have to try harder next time.

Yes it was a bit of a googly. I was looking for an image of George going through the pub but couldn't find one in a single lunch time Icon_biggrin at work.  I recall it was the old pub at Ballacraine  - anyone confirm?

Captain, there's not much to go on but I have some similar ones from Ramsey hairpin. Maybe it's there?

My first TT was 1993 and I'm fairly sure it was still there but maybe closed for business.  Does anyone know when it closed?  I'd check my video if I still had a vhs Icon_lol

RE: Who, What, Where, When?
Lets see what you can do with this one.  I don't have this year catalogued so I'm going from memory - fairly sure I have it right though...

50p each way says you're right Captain. Your shot looking down on the rider - Bjorn Gunnarsson?
