I'm a bit puzzled by the bike - it's got some GSXR stickers - but doesn't look like any model I can remember - is it something from the ClassicTT? My best guess is it's an SV650 - but that wouldn't be a GSXR.

Cheers

Maybe GSXR400 Lightweight MGP ?

The only guy I can think of is David Brook from Brook Motorsport.
It's a wild guess mind you !!

I've had a correct guess on the rider by text. It's the Classic TT (practice) and its a GSXR750. Styled more like a mid-80s factory F1 bike than the road version. Just the rider to get then!

Ah, so that would be Brian McCormack ?

Yes it would! I'm still digging out more pics, so I'll put another up as soon as I can.

Help! Something went wrong. Malcolm - can you delete these two and I'll try again in a bit

Which explains why it looks like a lightweight bike .

Thanks to Malcolm for sorting my mess out yesterday!  Right, next shot - another of my favourites:  Who and where?

That looks like Aberscare to me!

It is Aberscare (or Aberdare if you like!) - it's the left hander adjacent to the duck pond that leads down to the last corner. Hard to see from a pic this size but the straw bales are lashed to the trees with parcel tape...!

No wonder I was scratching my head, I was going round the Mountain circuit in my head and just couldn`t place it...!!

I was going to say Oliver's Mount

Good job that you didn't

Not much to go on but is it Dave Hewson?

Dave Hewson is correct Sam.

Right, who is this, where is it and what's he on?

Only just logged in so a quick `off the cuff` guess.

Billown circuit---Cross four ways?

Machine---- Triumph triple (Trident?)

Rider----no idea yet !

A suck/squeeze/bang/blow single cyl engine of some description in a Seeley frame ..

It is Cross Four Ways at Billown and it is a Seeley but you're both wrong on the engine

Trident????? what on earth was I thinking. That`ll teach me not to jump in so quick next time !!
