We’ve been making headlines in the Isle of Man press during this years TT festival!

Our collaboration with Guy Martin to raise funds for the helicopter fund made it into the Isle of Man Examiner:

…and our 13 month, June 2011 to June 2012 biker calendar caught their eye too:

We’ll be exhibiting at Ramsey Sprint all day on Tuesday 7th June 2011.

It’s the first time in a long time that we won’t be racing but we’ll still be supporting the event with the trade stand.

The event takes place along Mooragh Promenade, Ramsey and is a popular part of the TT festival.

It’s an all-day event with food, exhibits and entertainment.

See you there!

Update:

Great to see so many people at Ramsey Sprint today! The weather didn’t start well…

…but it turned into a gorgeous, sunny day…

…see you there in 2012!

Once again we’ll be exhibiting at the annual Port St Mary Vintage Show on Sunday 5th June 2011.

It’s always a popular event featuring motorbikes, cars, tractors, steam engines, vintage machinery and much more.

Come and see us on our trade stand where we’ll have our prints, postcards, greetings cards, mugs and our 13 month, June to June calendar available.

Look forward to seeing you!

Update:

Thanks to everyone who came to see us at the show.

Guy Martin won first prize for his Amanco stationary engine and Bruce Anstey paid us a visit!

Put it in your diary for next year!

John’s original watercolour painting of Manx ace Dan Kneen is now available as an A4 print.

We’re donating £1.00 to Dan for every print sold.

Dan’s kindly signed the original painting which is currently on display in the MostlyManx shop, Nelson Street, Douglas throughout the 2011 TT festival.

We’ve teamed up with Guy Martin to raise funds for Helicopter Fund.

John’s created one of his popular motorcycle cartoons (see image below) depicting man of the moment Guy at Ginger Hall, putting in a bit of “unofficial” practice on the world famous mountain course.

Guy was keen to provide his support for the cause, having experienced first hand the fantastic service provided by the helicopter medics after “jumping ship” at Ballegarey during last year’s Senior race.  “We ‘ave to put summat back don’t we…” said Guy, “them lads do a great job, yeah, I’m up for helping out.”

A limited edition of 50 prints of the cartoon have been signed by Guy and John and will be exclusively on sale at £30.00 from the “Roads Closed” exhibition which takes place at St Ninian’s Church, Douglas from 2nd to 10th June.

All profits from the sale of the limited edition prints will go to the Manx Grand Prix Supporters Club Helicopter Fund.

Prints are already selling fast but in the unlikely event of any of the prints remaining after the exhibition, they’ll be available here in the store after the exhibition.

The “Roads Closed” exhibition is organised annually by roadracingsuppoters.com in aid of the Rob Vine Fund and the Manx Grand Prix Supporters Club Helicopter Fund; it features original images by photographers with a love of road racing: there is something there for all road race fans and it should be on every TT fan’s “must see”  list.
