no prizes for guessing where but who and when?

Cap'n is correct!

So it's Guthries.

Who - a wild guess - Bill Smith by any chance?

When - looking at the bike - 91 maybe?

Well it's been live for several days, hadn't got a clue but Dr. Google suggests Charlie O'Neill 1989 Formula 1 TT

Stumbled across a jigsaw

Bike looks right (and boots) but leathers, number and lid aren't

RE: Who, What, Where, When?
I think the jigsaw may be referring to a different rider, although the bike looks the same.  Whether it was a different rider or they've made an error, I couldn't say.  I may have it wrong too but the results from the year in question support my memory as Charlie O'Neill wasn't in the results!  So. I'm going to say not him and not 1989!

RE: Who, What, Where, When?
Must admit, when I couldn't place the pic I 'google lens'd it & came up with the same answer, but didn't want to 'cheat', as such.
very, very similar colours, bike, forks, boots..
unless, just thought of this while typing...it's a recent Classic TT entry in an authentic retro style!!

I see your thinking Captain.  However, I'm too old and fat to hike up to the corner in question these days...  For the photographically minded it was shot on Kodak Ektachrome slide film using a Minolta XD-5 with Tokina AT-X 50-250mm lens.  It isn't a recent parade or classic race!

RE: Who, What, Where, When?
For some reason I had a feeling it was a French rider (with a hovercraft full of eels?).

I reckon it's Marc Granie

When.....looks like an OWO1 - guess from the helmet colours.....92?

Sam has it.  Marc Granie at Guthries in the 1992 Senior.  I'll put another one up soon.

I can only comment on the 'where' for this one Sticky and it looks like Sulby Bridge to me.

RE: Who, What, Where, When?
There's an air filter poked out into the breeze, a contraption on the swing arm, another downpipe joining the collector at weird angle - is it a Buell of some description ? with the high number MGP some years ago.....no clue with rider.

It is Sulby Bridge, otherwise the wrong tree is being barked up!  I'll let you ponder on this one for a bit before I start offering clues!
