greg3 Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Usually at this time of year the Isle of Man would be hosting the World famous Tourist Trophy (TT) Motorcycle Races but like most major sporting events it has been cancelled due to the Coroavirus. With no bikes to watch, I thought I'd build one instead! Loosely based on the Norton ridden by Rem Fowler when he won the first ever TT back in 1907...

In the early races, riders often had to stop and make repairs).

Unfortunately the project was cancelled (but it's given me time to work out how to get a minifig on the bike - I have a solution of sorts and am just waiting on parts) Anyway, thanks for looking!

Captain Dee Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 When I saw your profile pic and the title, my first thought was "Tourist Trophy!" Cool model. I think you did quite well at that scale. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the last cancellation of the races (2000?) due to foot-and-mouth disease? Kinda like now... I'll just have to watch "The Greatest Show on Earth" again. Quote
