My TT started a day earlier than planned as I managed to get over on the Thursday before practice Nice evening to sail too. I always try to go from Liverpool if I can - much nicer surroundings than Heysham.

The Three Graces



One of the best bits is seeing England disappear



I've never sailed with the tide so far out - these are the Antony Gormley sculptures at Crosby

---

First practice session for the classics at Ballakeighan.

Mike Hose - 350 Bultaco


Alan Oversby on the fabulous 500 MV


Simon Bartlett - Suzuki XR69


The crew that always ties Roy Moore's tongue in knots - Ralf Engelhardt & Winfried Wiecenz on the Busch BMW

---

2nd practice at Church Bends - cold, wet & 'orrible so not many out.

Bob Millinship (471 Ducati) leading Tom Jackson (500 Honda)


Jamie O'Brien - Yamaha TZ250


Ian Salter & Tim Dixon (Norton) leading Eddy Toombs & Bob Dowty (BMW)


The 250/350 singles race also took place and featured what I believe to be the outstanding moment of the fortnight. Ted Fenwick winning the 250 race at the age of 82. He was best 4 stroke in the 250 race two days later aswell!

Sun back out for the Classics race day
Oversby again!


More Italian exotica - Mick Moreton on the 500 Paton


Albert Price & Dicky Gale just before blowing up the clutch and setting the outfit on fire!


Kenny Davis leading John Burrows on his way to an excellent 3rd in the 350 race - both on Hondas




First TT practice at Ballaugh & different techniques on display.

Ian Lougher prefers nose-up


Ryan Farquhar goes nose-down


Keith Walters & Alun Thomas produce the biggest sidecar leap in 30 years!


Working on Tuesday night's stuff at the moment, so back soon with some more

Fab pics!!

Am amazed that Keith can get the outfit off the ground with his "excess baggage"!!!

And yes, Ted Fenwick winning aged 82. Quite something!

Steve Heneghan leading Stephen Thompson & Alan Connor


Tim Reeves & Dips Chauhan - Tim seems to be checking me out!


A close up study of Wayne "Bob The Builder" Lockey & Ken Edwards

Wednesday evening and too much sun - either deep black shadows or too bright highlights. Couldn't get settled and ended up whizzing about all over the place...

McPint at St Ninians


Fabrice Miguet


Keith Amor at Bedstead


Tim & Dips (again!)

That's a great shot of Tim and Dips!

I also like the really close up one of Wayne on the outfit.

Get you, complaining about too much sun! Imagine how it is for the riders, especially the sidecars. When I see photos from around the course, I do miss getting out and about and almost regret being stuck at the Grandstand.
