Doran and his Bend
In 1952 AJS rider Bill Doran was out practising on his 3-valve 7R3. Around the Ballacraine area, the lower engine bolt (arrowed) came adrift as he rounded the left-hander after Ballig Bridge. It lifted the front wheel. He crashed and broke a eg. That left-hander became Dorans Bend ever after

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling era of 1952 TT racing. The image captures the fearless AJS rider, Bill Doran, as he pushes his 3-valve 7R3 to its limits during a practice session for the Junior TT race. The scene unfolds around the Ballacraine area, where Doran's fate takes an unexpected turn. As he navigates through the challenging left-hander after Ballig Bridge, disaster strikes. The lower engine bolt on his powerful machine comes loose (indicated by an arrow), causing a sudden lift of the front wheel and sending him hurtling towards a crash. This treacherous corner would forever be etched in history as "Doran's Bend" serving as a reminder of both triumphs and tribulations that define motorcycle racing. Unfortunately for Doran, this incident resulted in a broken leg - a testament to his unwavering dedication and courage in pursuit of victory. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, it serves not only as a visual time capsule but also as an homage to those who risked life and limb on these legendary circuits. Let us remember Bill Doran's indomitable spirit and honor all those who have contributed their passion to fueling our love affair with two-wheeled speed machines.
