Merseyside police say a TT operation to keep motorbikes and their owners safe has been a success this year - with only two bikes stolen.
Operation Needle is an annual operation that runs across TT as bikers travel through Liverpool.
This year, two motorbikes were stolen, compared to 11 last year.
Officers say those thefts are regrettable, but add significantly fewer people fell victim to thieves than in previous years.
