Breakers aren't daft, they know people with more expensive bikes will pay more.

A 'TT Lock-In' has been created to help provide fans with their road racing fix - in lieu of the real thing.

It will feature some of the greatest solo and sidecar moments in TT history, with live interviews, and personal insights from the some of the races’ biggest stars.

Hosted by Vlogger Chris Pritchard and double TT Race winner Steve Plater, the content is set to be streamed from Saturday, 6 June to Saturday, 13 June.
It will be streamed on the Official TT website, iomttraces.com, Facebook page and YouTube channel.
A complete schedule for the free ‘TT Lock-In’ can be found on the TT website.
Manx Radio is also looking back on highlights from previous years in its 'Mountain Memories' programme."

"Streamed from Saturday 6th to Saturday 13th June, via the Official TT website iomttraces.com, Facebook page and YouTube channel, ‘TT Lock-In’ blends some of the greatest solo and sidecar moments from the track in the TT’s long illustrious history with live interviews, personal insights and revelations from the TT Races biggest stars.

Vlogger Chris Pritchard will be the host for the eight nights of TT content, and he will be joined by double TT Race winner Steve Plater for insightful interviews and indiscreet revelations with some of the riders that have created the headlines over the last twenty years.

The ‘Ultimate TT Races presented by Bennetts’ series turns the clock back on the greatest recent, and not so recent races. ‘TT Lock-In’ will be revisiting classic footage from five great races including the 1992 Senior TT, featuring the head to head between Carl Fogarty and Steve Hislop and the race that many believe is its closest challenger for the ‘greatest race’ accolade – the 2018 Senior TT.

Other races featured in the Series include highlights from Joey Dunlop’s memorable 2000 Formula 1 win, the dramatic and controversial 1994 Junior TT Race and the 2nd Supersport Race from 2012 – the Australasian battle between Cameron Donald and Bruce Anstey that produced one of the closest finishes in TT history.

Broadcast live via the TT Lock-In virtual studio, Chris and Steve will be joined by a ‘who’s-who’ of TT racing to provide their own unique views and personal insights to the series. Including the chance to submit their own questions and messages, fans will hear from John McGuinness, Dean Harrison, Carl Fogarty, Phillip McCallen, Rob McElnea, Peter Hickman, Brian Reid and Cameron Donald as well as multi-sidecar TT race winners Ben Birchall and Dave Molyneux.

Meanwhile, the world of Gaming will provide fans with their TT racing fix of another kind. The ‘Virtual TT powered by Motul’ will see 8 TT heroes, including Peter Hickman, Conor Cummins and Davey Todd, getting to grips with a new challenge and tackling the familiar course from the comfort of their own homes. Each of the TT Stars will team up with an experienced gamer and go head to head in a competition to be crowned ‘Virtual TT 2020 Champion’.

There’s also an introduction to racing on the Mountain Course for real from TT rider liaison officer, and former TT Race winner, Richard ‘Milky’ Quayle who will provide his unique insight into how to prepare to race the TT Mountain Course."

My 14 is being a demanding old cow these days.

I just popped out to the garage to replace a failed tail light bulb I'd seen at the weekend. I put the new bulb in & the whole light then wouldn't work until I filled the multiplug to it with contact cleaner a few times! I didn't even disturb or touch that connector to get the bulb out ffs.
