EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the year 1922, where the legendary Gus Kuhn is captured astride his powerful Sun Vitesse motorcycle. The image tells a tale of determination and perseverance as Kuhn finishes the Lightweight race in an admirable 12th position. As we gaze at this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that Kuhn's journey was far from easy. Enduring over five and a half grueling hours in the saddle, he battled against both physical exhaustion and fierce competition on the track. Despite his valiant efforts, Kuhn found himself crossing the finish line a staggering 90 minutes behind the victor, Geoff Davison on his Levis machine. The photograph encapsulates not only Kuhn's unwavering spirit but also serves as a testament to the unforgiving nature of motorsport. It reminds us that victory is not always within reach for every competitor; sometimes one must accept their place among those who have given their all. This vintage print allows us to appreciate both the triumphs and tribulations experienced by these early pioneers of motorcycle racing. It stands as a poignant reminder that even when faced with defeat, true champions continue to push forward with unwavering dedication - leaving an indelible mark on history for generations to come.
