TTRA

Having no financial means to return his body home he was buried in a pauper's grave, with just a pair of handlebars as a headstone. TT start-line marshal Rueben Harveyson was so incensed that he called a riders' meeting in Belfast later in the year, and as a result the embryo of the TTRA was formed. Support from the top riders was instant and by 1951 the association was born and the charity was up and running... The Friends of the TTRA offers an opportunity for those who enjoy the TT but have never ridden in a race to help support the TTRA.
