Shaun Harris had the Number 1 plate in 1996 when he rode the Britten, as a tribute to John Britten who died not long before the TT.

I remember Tim Leech having the Number 1 plate 1 year, and in 1995, in the Senior, the Number 1 plate was worn by Michael Brown. Fogarty never had the Number 1, and to my knowledge Hizzy only ever had it in 1994.

Can I assume that the top riders can choose their number, Nick Jefferies always has 7, Lougher always seems to be 10, Joey was always 3
