RE: Who, What, Where, When? - sprocket - 08-05-2021
I can see Suzuki on the tank.
Possibly a 125 ?
But I think he also rode the 50cc too.
Didn't those little 50's have something like 12 or 16 gears ?
RE: Who, What, Where, When? - sticky - 08-05-2021
He won the last ever 50cc race in 1968 on a Derbi. He later came back to the TT and won three consecutive Formula 3 TTs in 1979, 80 & 81. The bike in the pic is the 250cc Production Thompson Suzuki. I think this must be the bike on which he got 3rd in the 250 Production TT in 1968.
Right, lets see if you can work out who the other guy is
RE: Who, What, Where, When? - sprocket - 08-05-2021
I'm going for Heinz Rosner ?
I know he rode MZ's from the late 50's to the late 60's
RE: Who, What, Where, When? - sticky - 08-05-2021
Well done Sprocket. It is Heinz Rosner, works rider for MZ. The bike is an RE350. I always thought he'd had a lot more starts than he did - 9 in all and only 2 finishes. His best result was 3rd in the 1968 250 TT.
Both shots are from the 2nd classic parade at the centenary meeting.

Last orders at the 'best thread ever'..........
Who's got a teaser to send us out on a high note?
RE: Who, What, Where, When? - captainsparkledotcom - 03-09-2021
Oh Go on, Go on, Go on, Go on!
Dunno about a high note, but I've always liked this (well, since I took it!!)
It was as close as it looks, too!

Looks like my patch at Laurel Bank II
RE: Who, What, Where, When? - sprocket - 03-09-2021
I'm torn between Bradden Bridge and Laurel Bank 2 ?
RE: Who, What, Where, When? - sticky - 03-09-2021
It's Laurel Bank - Darren (Or possibly Peter) Creer and Tony Ainley. Honda & Velocette?
RE: Who, What, Where, When? - Alfie Noakes - 03-09-2021
Have trawled my pics and cropped this one but left enough for you Crafty TT Dawggs to sniff it out, not totally sure of rider so go for it ..

Results in 2014 say it was Jimmy on the 350cc, the one year I missed.
RE: Who, What, Where, When? - captainsparkledotcom - 04-09-2021
Good stuff!
Yes chaps, Laurel Bank & Jimmy Creer & that Velo!
Alfies picture is coming into Crosby?
RE: Who, What, Where, When? - sprocket - 04-09-2021
Agree with you captain, fabulous shot.
Love watching slow motion videos of that corner.
I'll guess at Martin Jessopp on the BMW ?
RE: Who, What, Where, When? - sticky - 04-09-2021
I hope this won't be my last input and we can continue this properlly at some point but these two are from the archives: One easy but poignant, the other a bit less easy:

RE: Who, What, Where, When? - bsa499 - 04-09-2021
I'm not certain, but the first photo reminds me of Dave Leach. However, we all know who the second pair is. And the location? Keppel Gate methinks. I too sincerely hope this won't be your last input Sticky.
RE: Who, What, Where, When? - Sam Pato - 05-09-2021
I thought Bob Heath when I first saw the leathers but I don’t think the lid is right.
Also going Keppel gate
RE: Who, What, Where, When? - Sam Pato - 05-09-2021
I'm also guessing its an FZR400 in the old 400 supersports days.
RE: Who, What, Where, When? - Chris_Sav - 05-09-2021
Re Alfie's post I think it's Dan Kneen, but where on Earth that wall and garden are I had not got a clue, watched two on-board laps with different riders yesterday and still could not work it out, no pavement on left so that cut out most of the Northern section of the circuit, then I looked at the name of the picture file! Captain appears spot-on
RE: Who, What, Where, When? - Alfie Noakes - 05-09-2021
No fooling the Cap'n ... tis Crosby 2014, my guess was Dean Harrison.
Sticky's most excellent pic i'll pop at 1992 TT, think the 250 race was still called Junior Race back then, 250 machine Yamaha TZ or Honda RS
Rider i'm currently stumped but still digging.
RE: Who, What, Where, When? - sticky - 05-09-2021
The newly promoted Detective Chief Inspector Noakes is right with 1992, the 250 was called the Junior and it's a TZ. Shot is from Keppel Gate.
