1977 TT revisited

On TTrevisited we will feature the TT races year-by-year in pictures, sounds, comments and occasionally interviews with those who were there. The 1977 TT was a milestone event, with the coming of the Formula TTs and the first win for Joey; watch the 1977 TT meeting

Excellent memories of what was my first visit to the Isle of Man TT ..... thanx

I got to watch Mac Hobson race many times at Croft, Oliver's mount and Silloth . A sad day when he died on the IOM.

Thanks for this. I was a regular at Brands around this time and it brings back memories. Never made it to IOM but there's still time.

Very interesting and informative, thanks! Never seen the Goldwing pic before so that was new to me! Great to see Joey there for his first win and Mike doing the promo... I wonder if they ever met? What an amazing experience! So many great riders long gone - just hope I can get their autographs when my time is up! Reckon they are all up there still competing.

Thanks for having such great documentation on these. I don't suppose you have any footage or pictures from any of the 1971 750cc sidecar? My grandad was a sidecar passanger and would be great to know if you had documented this race? His name was Terry J Harrington

[@billsnelling3285]

Greetings. If you go to www.ttracepics.com and put his name in the search box, you will find three pics of him from the 1971 Sidecar TTs, he rode in both 500 and 750 sidecar TTs. Best wishes, Bill

Open face helmets, a single cylinder Maico and BSA. End of an era.
