With money 'borrowed' from his grandfather, George make his way by train to Liverpool and embarks on the steamer for Douglas.Īs he prepares to embark, George's attention is drawn to the arrival of better known T.T.
Although unable to give him the £5 directly, George's mother endeavours to take the money from his Grandpa's savings which he keeps concealed in the lining of the settee. Undeterred, George asks his mother if she could lend him £5 so he can make his way to the Isle of Man in order to compete at the races.
Whilst running the engine of his machine, George inadvertently knocks the motorcycle off its stand and crashes into the fence of his next door neighbour, Mr Hardacre, who goads George about his dream of winning the T.T. Unfortunately, George's attempts to secure a factory ride with the Rainbow Motorcycle Company are unsuccessful and consequently he resorts to entering his own machine the "Shuttleworth Snap", a motorcycle derived from an old Rainbow machine.
George Shuttleworth (Formby) is a chimney sweep from Wigan who dreams of winning the Isle of Man TT.
