This print captures Charlie Williams' favorite TT mount, a 500 Yamaha-4 that he rode in 1982. Among all the bikes he had experienced on the Island, this particular machine holds a special place in his heart. Reflecting on his remarkable achievements, Charlie reminisces about the unforgettable moments he had with this Yamaha. During the Senior race on that memorable Monday, after making necessary adjustments and enjoying a refreshing pint at Sulby Glen during the second lap, Charlie broke Hailwood's lap record. The sheer thrill of surpassing such an iconic feat filled him with immense pride and satisfaction. Fast forward to Friday's Classic race; Charlie found himself leading by almost two minutes with just one and a half laps remaining when misfortune struck. A broken gearbox forced him to stop abruptly at Ballacry during lap five. Despite this setback, he managed to set the fastest lap of the entire race – a testament to his exceptional skill and determination. If only this beloved Yamaha had been more reliable! Its occasional hiccups couldn't overshadow its incredible performance or diminish Charlie's admiration for it. This photograph immortalizes not only an extraordinary racing machine but also serves as a reminder of Charlie Williams' indomitable spirit and unwavering passion for motorcycle racing.
