......is either the best joke ever...........
.....Or just your average day at the TT races in Ramsey. It's Mad Sunday again. Another group dressed as an assortment of characters, having a pint (or several), watching the tourists and locals ride a the TT course route. I'm not sure if this was the year Batman rode a motorbike closely followed by Spiderman or was it Banaman, I but I know it's not the year of the Pink Panther riding a moped. Photo of this motley crew taken just outside the Swan Pub, Parliament Square 2011.
I lived in Ramsey, Isle of Man. My time watching the Isle of Man TT races and spectators through a lens.

Two pints of Okells and packet of crisps please
Beer O'clock
Riders day off and head over to the TT Grandstand. Every other day is race day, over the 2 weeks of the TT Races, and days off are a great for photo opportunities around the paddock and pits. You can find mechanics tinkering, riders book signing, locals and tourists grabbing a pint of the local stuff and a bite to eat. I'd like to say blue skies are always an Isle of Man staple, but we all know that's not the case. The beer though, never stops flowing at the Okells beer tent.
Fancy a pint, buy some TT merchandise, spot a rider eating a burger. TT Grandstand, is the place to be. Free entry on non race days. Family friendly atmosphere. Blue skies not guaranteed. Well you can't have everything.

And don't forget the tourists
Mad Sunday
Mad Sunday, 2010. It's not compulsory to adorn fancy dress to watch people whizzing past on motorbikes along the TT route, but having a beer at one of the local pubs is a must. Taken outside the Swan Pub, Ramsey. It's also not compulsory to dress as Superman whilst riding a motorbike along the TT route, or Batman, or the Pink Panther, it's just that kind of event.
