AMA champion hoping to raise profile of three-wheelers
Sidecars are firmly embedded into the foundations of the TT races and there's hopes the spirit of the three-wheelers can be translated across the pond.
That's according to Larry Coleman - a three-time AMA national sidecar champion and AMA hall of fame member in the USA - who's visiting this year's racing fortnight.
He's on Island for a third time with the aim of providing more exposure of sidecar racing in the United States.
Mr Coleman says right now on the other side of Atlantic they're viewed slightly differently:

Ravens run riot against AFC Liverpool
FC Isle of Man and AFC Liverpool to meet in vital hunt for points
Hockey: Cup finals double-header on the cards
Rugby: Douglas to host Sandbach in big top-of-the-table clash
Football: Prem title contenders Corinthians and Peel to meet
