Manx Newscast
Thursday, 5 June 2025 - 11 minutes
A 95-year-old UK resident has had his dream of experiencing what it would be like to go around the TT course on a high-speed motorbike come true.
Ron Allen and his wife used to regularly attend the fortnight from 1956 until 1981.
Back again this year for the first time in 44 years, Ron has come over to scatter his wife's ashes in one of their favourite spots on the course.
All this was made possible by his friend and neighbour Sebastian Edge, who knew of Ron's journey and who called his friend, a former MGP winner, to take Ron around.
