On your trivia, you make mention of Fred Walker being killed after he crossed the finishing line in 1914.
In fact, as I understand it, F.J. Walker on a Royal Enfield is the only rider in TT history to be awarded a finish posthumously, and he NEVER actually crossed the finishing line. The course that year came along to the top of Bray Hill from the right having turned right at Hillberry. Think the road is called Ballanard road. Anyway, the riders turned sharp right where the fuel station is now, ( it was called Willaston Corner on the Clypse Course), and the start/finish was on the top, level section of Bray Hill, for that year only.
Fred Walker came along to the corner, never made the turn, hit a wooden barrier where you would now go down Broadway, and was killed 100yards short of the finishing line. It was decided to award him 3rd place posthumously.
Now, is there anyone out there with a different version to this sad episode?
