It is Parliament Square and is from the Manx. I thought this might be a bit of a tester. A knowledge of Irish riders from the mid-noughties might be useful here!

The leathers look like John Donnan's team livery is it one of his riders?

Ken Doherty is the only name that I can think of...... complete guess.

I can see where you're coming from Sam but not him. I have had a correct guess by PM so if no-one gets it this evening I'll spill the beans

Is it Kenny McCrea ? ..

Well done Alfie. Kenny McCrea is correct. Props to chris_sav who PM'd me with the correct answer a couple of days ago.

This should be a bit easier!

Got the rider but struggling with the location.......it looks like it should be easy.

Sulby Bridge. I think I've got the rider.

It is Sulby Bridge - don't be shy about saying who the rider is!

I think it may be Sam Dunlop.

And you'd be right to think so! Sam Dunlop it is.

Next pic:  Who's this (bit harder than the last one - might give a clue later if I'm feeling benevolent!) and also. what is he riding?

Curiosity got the better of me and google did the rest. I didn't even know such a machine existed.

Waterworks 2 again?

I think it might be Sulby bridge?

Well I would say that it's the Waterworks.

Waterworks is correct. anyone want to have a go at who & what?

It`s funny how it looks more familiar when you have the answer!!

Having done a little bit of detective work i`ll have a guess at the rider being Dave Matravers riding a 500 Paton

In fairness, I do have media access so you may be seeing some corners from a slightly different perspective. Welcome aboard by the way! Clue on the rider: It's from the MGP in the mid-noughties and this rider still competes in the Manx.

I was editing my previous post when your clue popped up.
Still not sure if I have it right though!

It's not Dave Matravers or a Paton - the bike's far more obscure than that!
