Fire officers in Laxey performed an unusual task involving a motorcycle on Tuesday evening.
They helped move a replica of a 1950's Gilera 500cc Grand Prix bike into position for a TT exhibition at the Hodgson Loom Gallery in the village.
The officers were called in to add a bit of muscle to the operation as the gallery is located on the first floor of the building.
Owner Rupert Murden says the machine is very special (play audio file):
The bike and hundreds of TT photos will be on display from Saturday in a free exhibition which will run throughout the festival period.
