EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1911, capturing a moment of anticipation and excitement on the Liverpool landing stage. Three magnificent T. T machines are lined up, ready to embark on their journey to the Isle of Man for the highly anticipated 1911 TT race. Amongst these powerful motorcycles is FY649, a striking New Hudson with its sleek design demanding attention. Standing alongside it are two equally impressive Humbers, both equipped with three-speed gears that would prove essential in conquering the challenging terrains ahead. However, this historic image also tells a tale of unexpected drama. As one of the Humber motorcycles attempted to start on Douglas promenade, disaster struck when it caught fire. The intensity of this incident only adds to the allure and mystique surrounding these early days of motorcycle racing. Preserved through time, this print allows us to witness a pivotal moment in motorsport history – an era where brave riders pushed themselves and their machines to new limits. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those pioneering days while honoring those who paved the way for today's thrilling races. Whether you're an avid motorsport enthusiast or simply appreciate glimpses into our past, this image offers a unique window into an iconic event - without any mention or connection to commercial use
