Rob Fisher (fl. 1990s) is a retired motorcycle road racer who has won ten sidecar races at the Isle of Man TT, second only to Dave Molyneux's 16 wins.[1]
He started his racing career riding sidecar motocross as a teenager at local events and then had a spell as a passenger at British Championship level. He disliked being a passenger and soon changed to driving, but this time on the road. He soon found success with two British Championships in '91 and '92, but with no sponsorship the team had to be broken up. He then got a ride on a Jacobs Yamaha FZR600, backed by Eddy's Motorcycles and had enough time to do one British Championship round on it at Donington Park before the TT, where he finished fifth in Sidecar Race A, along with passenger Vince Butler. In 1994, now partnered by Mick Wynn he won two TT races. In 1995 he retained his crown and continued to win TTs over the next few years. Rob Fisher's final trip to the Isle of Man TT races in 2002 saw him take his tenth win.
