EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the remarkable journey of Bill Smith, a Liverpool rider-dealer who left an indelible mark on the world of motorcycle racing. The image captures two pivotal moments in his career - his first and last TT rides. The year was 1957 when Bill Smith fearlessly took to the track astride his Velocette special during the Lightweight TT. With sheer determination etched across his face, he pushed himself to the limits, navigating treacherous bends and accelerating with unwavering resolve. This race marked a significant milestone for him as he showcased his exceptional riding skills and cemented his place among racing legends. Fast forward 43 years later, and we find ourselves witnessing an emotional farewell ride on the Isle of Man. On this momentous occasion, Bill bid adieu to competitive racing aboard a powerful 400 Honda bike. As he embarked on this final lap around the iconic circuit, nostalgia mingled with bittersweet sentiments filled every corner of his heart. This print serves as a testament to Bill Smith's enduring passion for speed and adrenaline-fueled adventures. It encapsulates not only two distinct eras in motorcycle history but also pays homage to an individual whose love affair with bikes spanned decades.
