RE: New Imperial 1932
Sadly, he wasn't well off! He was a bus driver, although started by delivering parcels on a horse-drawn cart! So, he either bought it second-hand, or maybe even borrowed it. He always had bikes back then, and did a lot of off road too.
People think it was 1932 from the banners, and the bike was probably 1931?
It was very different, of course, over eighty years later, but still recognisable. I was very emotional.
Do you know if I can post photos here? I could see an icon for film but when I clicked it was for adding a video.
Thank you!

Pleased you got over. Indeed it is an emotional place to visit. 50 years since my first visit to the island and over 40 since my first TT. Still remember my fist sight of a bike appearing at Kate's and whizzing down towards us. Back in the day when you could sit on the banking at the exit to the Creg. Mick Grant and the big green 2 stroke.
It's a special place. I can't wait to go back. Nothing else like it. Must be fantastic to be there in May. One of these years.....
