TT fans will be able to watch the UK's first ever big screen showing of the 1970's film Take it to the Limit during TT week.
The film, made by acclaimed American producer Peter Starr, is a snapshot of motorcycling in the mid 1970s and was filmed in the Isle of Man, UK and America.
During the 90 minute film speedway, scrambling, road racing, trials, and hill-climbing are filmed in a factual and humorous fashion using ground-breaking (for its day) on-bike footage
Highlights of the film include Mike Hailwood riding and commentating on a lap on a OW31 750 Yamaha during practice for the 1977 Manx Grand Prix - prior to his comeback victory in the 1978 Formula One TT.
This classic film also features Mert Lawill as he describes pitching a 90 horsepower Harley Davidson into a two-wheel drift on the San Jose mile dirt oval and Kenny Roberts who shoehorns a 700 Grand prix Yamaha road-race engine in a dirt-track chassis, takes it to an Indianapolis speedway and beats the all-conquering Harley team. The bike was banned after this inaugural race.
Desert racing, trials scrambles and grass track also feature with Barry Sheene describing in graphic detail his 1975 Daytona crash.
Take it to the limit will be screened at the Manx Museum between Sunday, June 5 and Friday, June 11. Showings take place at 5pm and 7pm. Tickets cost £5 and all proceeds will go to the Prostate Cancer Education Foundation and The Manx Museum and National Trust.
