MORETON-in-Marsh sidecar driver Wayne Lockey had a frustrating time at the Isle of Man TT with a pair of non-finishes.
Joined by passenger Kenny Cole at short notice on the Ireson Honda 600cc, an oil leak scuppered their plans to take part in race one.
The Real Racing duo were ready to tackle the second contest but only made it to lap two before a broken chassis curtailed their meeting.
They were plagued with problems in practice including a blown engine.
The bike will be staying on the island to be mended in time for next month's Southern 100.
A team spokesman said: "Let's hope we can have a more successful race then and move forward from all the events of this year's TT. It can only get better!"
