Joeys first TT win

When Joey Dunlop was looking for tyres for his Seeley Yamaha in 1977, he found it difficult to get any at the right price. Coming into victory lane after wining ther Jubilee TT, the tyre manufacturer rushed up to put a brand hat on his head. It didn't stay there long

A replica - for six and three quarter laps!

In the 1935 Lightweight, H G Tyrell Smith came round Kate's Cottage on his seventh and last lap, to find the road had been opened in error. Touring through the crowds making their way back to Douglas, he appealed to the Stewards, was given the same lap time as his sixth, and ended up with a replica for eleventh place on his Rudge
