The 'badge man' has been to the Island 35 times in total
TT superfan ‘Wheelie Konni’ has returned to the Isle of Man for the 35th time.
Konni Ammenhäuser is as familiar a face as some of the top motorcycling stars.
The German got his nickname because he used to do wheelies on Douglas Promenade during his early visits in the 1980s.
He's also known as the ‘badge man’ in honour of the hundreds he's collected over the years:
Annual Christmas Tractor Run returns for 2025
Isle of Man Young Farmers raising money for two charities
Students treated to theatre workshop by UK company
Hosted by internationally acclaimed arts company
'Really important' children are inspired to use their imaginations, says Manx author
Creative writing session at RGS used Manx myths and legends to inspire them to tell stories
Donation to go towards Rebecca House's sibling programme
AFD Software Ltd hosts annual thanksgiving event
