EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back in time to the thrilling 1912 Senior TT race. The legendary Percy Owen, astride his powerful Norton motorcycle, fearlessly navigates Cruickshanks Corner in Ramsey. However, what immediately catches our attention is not just Owen's skillful maneuvering but also the treacherous condition of the road beneath him. The rough state of the pavement is evident as cracks and potholes mar its surface. It becomes apparent that even a seasoned rider like Owen must make split-second decisions to ensure his safety and maintain control over his bike. Astonishingly, as we observe closely, we notice another rider following closely behind Owen who has chosen an unconventional path - riding on the pavement itself! This daring move seems to be a strategic decision made by this skilled competitor to avoid the worst of the potholes. This remarkable image captures both the excitement and challenges faced by these early motorcycle racers. It serves as a testament to their bravery and determination in conquering not only their opponents but also unforgiving road conditions. As we admire this vintage photograph, it reminds us of how far racing technology has come since those early days while paying homage to those pioneers who paved the way for modern motorsport enthusiasts around the world.
