Charlie Gauthier took this photo of me on the 1911 Indian on the Queen's Prom in Douglas, IOM on Thurs. 9 June, 2011. This is probably just before I almost crashed it making the 'U' turn from the other side of the Prom with the front 25 year old clincher tire with 50psi in it sliding out. Unfortunately, the handle bar broke just before the Milestones of the Mountain Parade lap the next day and I wasn't able to participate.
