............After the Isle of Man TT Road Races, we have the other motorbikes races, the Manx Grand Prix. Not as busy or well known out of biking circles as the infamous TT, but equally as exciting. Attracting many tourists and riders from across the world, the Isle of Man, once again gives up it's roads to the races. Daily life fits around the two weeks races (practice week, race week) so everyone can still get around the island negotiating alternative routes and breaks in road closures. I'm lucky to have a job that involves photographing this on my doorstep, my home town.
More info on the history of the Manx Grand Prix can be found here
More photos form the event and the island ca be found at Jane Hards Photography at the Manx
Part of Abc, and hoping Mrs Nesbitt will join us one year for the Manx, in addition to the TT
Such a good action shot!
