EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back in time to the year 1909. The image captures the essence of pioneering motorcycle racing, showcasing a moment that could have forever changed the history books of the prestigious Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT) race. At its center stands J Leno, an unsung hero who should have been listed among the first two-stroke riders to participate in the TT. However, fate had other plans for him as he encountered misfortune during practice. A collision with another rider forced him to non-start his Premo bike, leaving behind a missed opportunity that could have solidified his place in racing history. Beside Leno's unfortunate incident, we catch a glimpse of Eric Myers on his Scott motorcycle. Regrettably, even Myers' journey was cut short as he retired from the race. These two brave men symbolize not only their own personal determination but also embody the spirit of all early racers who fearlessly pushed boundaries and tested new technologies on these treacherous roads. This print serves as a reminder that sometimes victory is not measured solely by crossing finish lines or hoisting trophies; it lies within those individuals who dared to dream big and challenge convention. Their stories may be forgotten by many but remain etched forever in our collective memory as true pioneers of motorcycling's golden era - where passion met adversity on every twist and turn of life's unpredictable track.
