EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating Moto Guzzi V-8 in full action as it conquers Bray Hill. Known for their single cylinder racers, Moto Guzzi made a bold move in 1957 by introducing this magnificent V-8 racer. Despite facing setbacks due to a piston seizure during the Senior TT that year, Dickie Dale fearlessly rode this innovative machine to an impressive fourth-place finish. The Moto Guzzi V-8's performance on the Isle of Man was nothing short of remarkable, showcasing its power and agility on one of the most challenging race circuits in the world. However, fate had other plans for this groundbreaking motorcycle as it never graced the Island's tracks again. Following that eventful season, both Moto Guzzi and fellow racing giants MV and Mondial decided to withdraw from competitive racing altogether. This marked not only an end to an era but also left enthusiasts longing for more glimpses of these legendary machines tearing through iconic courses like Bray Hill. Preserved forever within this print is a testament to Moto Guzzi's engineering prowess and Dickie Dale's skillful riding abilities. It serves as a reminder of a time when innovation pushed boundaries and motorcycles roared with untamed passion on historic tracks like those found at the Isle of Man Senior TT races in 1957.
