James chawke?
If I get this right I'm going to have a drink...if it's wrong, I'll have two!!

🙈🙈🙈... I'm hopeless!!

Where's Alfie ???🙂

^^ Just donning my deerstalker hat and leaving 221b ... have faith.. Moriarty has left a little clue with previous pics ..

Nope, still don't know. I'm obviously missing something...apart from a brain!!

Great photo though. Love his body position, knee almost on the tarmac and one finger just covering the front brake... beautiful 👍

Been up all night musing and pacing around.......now just off to work......rider is Dirk Kaletsch :o) drinks all round when I get back hehe

Ah, thank you Alfie.
I think he started his TT career around the mid 90's and did he also team up with fellow riders Thomas Schonfelder and Manfred Vogl?
Seems to ring a bell in the back of my mind.

Alfie is correct and depending on the outcome of the promotion board, may be elevated to Detective Inspector. I thought Kaletsch would be one of those guys that people might remember seeing but not quite be able to put a name to.

Another pic later...

Who do we have here?

Location...bungalow
Crew...John and James Saunders?

Pour yourself half a drink for the location! Sorry - not the Saunderses

Simon Neary and Stuart Bond?

Break out the whole bottle! - Neary & Bond it is!

Ah ha, got it. It was the 'Tee Bee' on the fairing that gave me a clue.
If memory serves me right, they have sponsored many riders over the years.

....now where's me glass..🍻

Next one: who and where?

Location.....Sulby bridge

I thought that bit would be harder! It was taken back when us press guys were allowed in the driveway of the house opposite the apex of the corner. Can't do that now unfortunately...

Hmmm...Nigel 'cap' Davies I think

Nigel Davis on a cbr1000.

I think it may have been the 2005 superbike race
