In 1996, he teamed up with John Holden to compete in the Sidecar TT race for Jacobs, showcasing their exceptional skills and determination. Their performance was nothing short of remarkable. Not one to rest on his laurels, Sub Lieutenant Ian "Soapy" Watson arrived at Gatwick airport ready for another thrilling adventure. His passion for motorcycles knew no bounds as he continued to push boundaries and achieve greatness. In 1982, Brian Offen joined forces with Ian Watson on a Yamaha bike for the Sidecar TT race. Together, they displayed unparalleled teamwork and skill that left spectators in awe. The duo's dedication paid off again that same year when they competed on an Ireson Yamaha machine. The year before proved equally successful as Brian Offen and Ian Watson took part in the 1981 Sidecar TT race aboard a Yamaha bike once more. Their unwavering commitment to excellence shone through as they conquered challenges head-on. Ian Watson's talent extended beyond sidecar races; he also made waves in solo competitions. Riding a Kawasaki bike, he participated in the Senior Manx Grand Prix event in 2002 and showcased his mastery over two wheels.
