Manx GP results 1955
After reading Splashdowns mention of the origins of the Torrens Trophy I thought I'd try & occasionally post random items from years gone by!
I've just acquired a stack of The Motor Cycle papers, seemingly from 1948 to around 1958 (more to come I believe!) & there's some amazing stuff in there.
If anyone wants me to have a look at a certain date for any results or mentions, I'll have a see what I can find (time permitting!)
Anyway, here's the Manx GP Senior results from 1955, some familiar names in that lot!

Did you notice the guy who finished 44th? One F. Sheene - Barry's dad?
I think so Sticky, & a Mr. Buckmaster, father of Simon, not sure about the Mcguinness tho' (sorry, Big John! ![Blush Blush](https://www.ttwebsite.com/forums/images/smilies/blush.gif) ), Ivan Rhodes etc.
There's also Ellis Boyce, a chap I met around 35-40 years ago, when I used to deliver to supermarkets in our area. He delivered milk & we used to be at the same place, same time quite often, he never once mentioned his Isle of man exploits, it was only when one of the shop managers told me about it, then I got to talk to him about his time racing, a really nice chap, I believe he moved across to the island when he retired.

Well, first of all you upload your images to a site like Flickr or Postimage, some now charge so be careful, unless you want to, of course! you'd probably get a better service?
Then you use the address/link/pathway of the image, after you've uploaded it, & insert it in the box that appears when you click on the "insert an image" icon (above the asterisk, hopefully!) You can usually resize when you first upload the image or when you post it, in the width & height boxes that appear, usually a width of around 640ish.
As I'm typing I'm sure I remember this being covered before, I'll have to have a look!
edit: you have to reply directly to this post to see where the asterisk is!!! I can't find a copy of the "insert an image" icon!! sorry
