I used to live in Santon, and my office was in Ramsey, and on a nice day, I took my Rickman Bonneville to my work, and over a period of ten years, I can't imagine how many laps of the TT circuit I have done, and it still thrills me to watch the Maestro Geoff Duke in his prime on a Norton.
i used to love the trade test transmission films. the ones i remember best are the powerboat race round the isle of wight and the one about the evoluon science museum in holland
Oh the glory days of Norton start of a golden age of motorcycle racing that lasted to 1957 when all the major manufacturers pulled out leaving MV to dominate the larger classes until Honda ascendancy in the mid sixties with Mike Hailwood and Jim Redman.
I have a question. When did they stop the two at a time start? And were each pair matched so they would be racing each other on the road, or unmatched so they didn't?
Fabulous film, Jayne. How did you get a hold of it? Wish I could share it and, of course, credit you as the owner. Wonderful film. How the scenery and racing has changed over the years. Best wishes.
Remember the Hot Chocolate Tent Dad took me during early morning practice I can smell the grass and taste the hot chocolate as I write this Big Surtees fan as a young boy
Road racing gone in southern Ireland. Will probably go soon in northern Ireland. The TT will be a thing of the past too unfortunately if the powers that be have their way.😢

Fantastic 👍🏽👍🏽
The riders wiping their noses after finishing. Full faced helmets have brought some comfort at least
Wonderful film and brilliant riders.
No cocoa tent for post practice debriefings anymore 😂
No, it will be some horrific energy drink now!
Epic, thanks!

Bikes have outgrown the roads,just look at the NW200, 5 x over 60's, 12 x over 50's,very few in their 20's
