I know Ian Bell did both, did he do it at the same time, also did he eva do the TT or MGP on a solo?? xxx

Nigel Rollason won one of the sidecar races in 1986, and I think he won a MGP race on a solo too ?

*edit* Had a look at the TT database - he won the 1971 MGP Senior race.

Ian didnt race solos at the Manx or TT. He was on the verge of entering the production TT in 96 but his passenger wasnt happy about it. Our dad raced at the Manx, Clubmans TT and the TT before turning to sidecars in 64.

Alan Steele won the MGP on a solo & also raced an outfit.

geoff smale rode a couple of years on a solo at the manx and passengered nigel smith at the tt before driving himself

Robin raced in the Manx on his 7R in 1957 wouldn't it be fantastic for him to be riding in the TT on a sidecar some 54 years later

Now that, Annette, must be a record unlikely to be beaten - 54 years between TT appearnces

Robin as a 20 year old ..MGP ...look at all that hair

I drove in the TT 1993 - 1996, rode solo in the Manx GP in 1998 & 1999, and won a F2 race at Jurby as a passenger in 1992.

Does that count?
