The culmination of 2 weeks of practice and racing finalizes with the 'Senior Race'. Winning that is a road racer's dream.
I would be remiss if I didn't say a big Thank-you to our hosts, Barbara & Eric, at West Lodge B&B who shared their home with us and made sure we got off each day with a 'full Manx breakfast'!
Knowing people on the island has its merits. We were told to follow a long lane to 'Harold's farm', where we could watch the races from his front yard for FREE! His family had prepared plenty of refreshments at a very reasonable price. I loved their garden.
I was able to get some great action shots of champions as they whizzed by!
John McGuinness, winner of 20 TT races, the 2nd most successful racer ever on the Isle of Man |
Ian Hutchison, winner of a record 5 TT races in a week,controls a wheelie at 170 mph! |
Our island visit ended with Fish and Chips at Station in Port Erin.
How fitting!

Good bye to the TT for 2014
