everyone of them is pure gold, do you know how well nortons doing? don't hear about them on the tv :(
 
Fantastic stuff.

It's been many years since I went to the TT.

Besides the motorsport, you've captured the Isle of Man in these.
 
Superb set. Like all of them, but the first and last stand out.

Thats the TT done really nicely Richard (y)

I was hoping to start seeing some TP-TT soon - coverage of the event is quite hard to find other than the odd tweet.

I think #8 is my pick of this lot. Its beautifully framed and I think its got all of the components that say "TT".
 
Stunning set of photo's, for me #2, #8 & #12 are the stand out shots but to be fair I could sit & look at them all night long(y)

If your still on the island & get a chance can you wish my good mate James Hillier good luck for the Senior...I think he may have a bit of a target on his back:LOL:

Thanks Colin, Nortons had an 18th and a DNF in the superbikes. Should go better in the senior.

Thanks Gary, praise indeed! We're sadly no longer on the island (went Thursday to Wednesday). Fingers crossed for James, he really is flying, can't be easy going off first!

Been following these on your Facebook page, cracking stuff Richard, been very jealous. Out of curosity for next year did you saty in the campsite in Laxley?

Thanks very much Graham, chuffed you like them!

We stayed at the Laxey AFC campsite (football club site, not the main campsite in Laxey). We booked in advance and I would recommend it.
 
Lovely stuff, all great but if I had to pick a favourite, it would be between 2 and 12.
 
An excellent series, which has it all. These could be used to great effect showcasing the TT. Zfantastic how we get to see different angles, and like others have said, really incorporate the Isle of Man into the shots, giving the viewer a good feel for the event.
Brilliant
 
Excellent photos Richard. I have only been there once before in the early 80's and a "day trip" from Liverpool at that! A return trip is on my bucket list :D

You seem to have covered a lot of locations, is it easy to move about once the road is closed , or do your pictures just come from moving around in a single location.
