Matthew Richardson, Curator of Social History at Manx National Heritage commented:

“This has been an exciting exhibition to put together. We have worked with top riders from the past and the present to bring together a fantastic mix of memorabilia and memories. Whether it is the classic Suzuki machines of the 1960s which capture your interest, or Bruce Anstey’s Supersport TT wins of the last five years which you remember best, there will be something in this exhibition for you. We are particularly grateful to Suzuki GB and to Relentless Suzuki Racing by TAS for the support which they have given to us in assembling this unique collection of artefacts.”
