EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1966, capturing the essence of a bygone era. In the spotlight is the iconic 1914 BSA motorcycle, renowned for its top speed of 33 miles per hour. Soon, this vintage beauty will hit the road again as part of the annual pioneer run from London to Brighton. Seated proudly on this magnificent machine is Mr. Tom Scott, a passionate motorcycle enthusiast hailing from Swansea. This will be his second time participating in this historic event that celebrates the rich heritage of motorcycles. At 48 years old and residing on Landor Avenue in Killay, Mr. Scott's love affair with motorcycles began at a tender age of twelve. It is important to note that this run is not a race but rather an esteemed opportunity for those fortunate enough to possess qualifying machines like Mr. Scott's cherished BSA. The date set for this exhilarating journey through time is March 20th. As we delve into our memory lane, let us appreciate how transportation has evolved over time while cherishing these timeless relics that continue to captivate our hearts – reminding us of an era when motorbikes were more than just vehicles; they were symbols of freedom and adventure.
