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.

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.

1935 Senior TT? G Formby about to run out of fuel coming out of Governor's.

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

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

Cheers

O Blimey! Never thought of that!! 

I'll just throw this one in, no ladders or tomfoolery involved at any time!

Whitegates or exit of Parliament Sq ? ..

From the grass bank looking into Govoners dip.

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 at work.  I recall it was the old pub at Ballacraine  - anyone confirm?

Cheers

Yes it was the old pub Sam. I think it was called the Ballacraine Hotel

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

No hammerhead, in fact Alfie was just about there with the first answer!
Coming out of parliament Square, Here's a view of the same spot from ground level (checkout the tarmac square!) - (year was 2017, by the way!)

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 

As a hotel it closed in 1984 I think.

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...

I'll do the easy bit - Rhencullen

Yes, That certainly looks like Rhencullen,
Michael Russell too, I would wager. 

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