TT Zero - 2011


John Burrows; "JoniB", Lightning Motorcycles' rider - pushed the bike all the way from Cronk y Mona, (approx 2 miles), in order to record a "finish" - an absolute hero!


Richard Hadfield, Lightning's genius/owner/boss/inventor and the most laid back race team owner in the world, begins to show some signs of nerves during scrutineering, (the bike only having been "finished" five minutes previously)




Lining up for the start


When you just do not understand the technology - it pays to be safe rather than sorry.


The, (winning), opposition


Richard attempting to tell "a racer to his bootstraps", to, "take it gently" for the first 8 miles - some hope!


Michael Rutter - the winner of this year's Zero TT
