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:
Last chance to enter 2026 'Tough Mucka'

Celebration of Island's 'incredible' women returns for second year
