An Island business says its courses teaching people to pose as bikers during TT are now fully booked.

Fireblade Fakery, based in Ramsey, says it can teach anyone how to wear any old leather clothing from their wardrobe and carry a helmet as if they knew what it was for.

The company says in previous years demand has been high among those who like to stand in pubs during TT boasting about their non-existent machinery and imaginary laps.

This year, its lessons have proved particularly popular with those in the finance sector who feel out of place among working-class oiks with oily hands.
