Check out Legends of Suzuki on an Isle of Man ferry break

Motorsport fans might be interested in paying a visit to the Manx Museum in Douglas to see a new exhibition during Isle of Man ferry breaks this summer.

Legends of Suzuki, a display charting 50 years of success for the Japanese firm in the Isle of Man TT races, opened in May and will run until September 4th.

Visitors can see a range of fascinating items and exhibits, including memorabilia and stories contributed by some of the top Suzuki riders of the past 50 years.

Travellers catching ferries to the Isle of Man with the Steam Packet Company can also see some of the motorbikes that have brought the manufacturer so much success.

Matthew Richardson, curator of social history at Manx National Heritage, said: "This has been an exciting exhibition to put together. We have worked with top riders from the past and the present to bring together a fantastic mix of memorabilia and memories.

"Whether it is the classic Suzuki machines of the 1960s which capture your interest, or Bruce Anstey's Supersport TT wins of the last five years which you remember best, there will be something in this exhibition for you."

The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company operates ferries to Douglas from Liverpool, Heysham, Larne, Belfast and Dublin.
