EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of the 1913 TT races. The focus of the image is Cyril Pullin, a determined rider astride his powerful inlet-over-exhaust Veloce motorcycle. As he gazes into the distance with unwavering determination, one can almost feel his anticipation for the race ahead. However, despite Pullin's skill and resolve, fate had other plans for him on that fateful day. The machine suffered from frustrating oiling problems throughout the race, hindering its performance and ultimately leading to a disappointing finish in 22nd place - last in the Junior TT category. Yet even in defeat, Pullin's spirit remains unbroken as he sits proudly atop his beloved Veloce. Beside him stands another magnificent machine - a 3 1/2 Veloce. This particular model holds significance as it marks an important transition for the company. It was during this era that Veloce decided to add "ette" to their name when they began manufacturing their renowned two-stroke motorcycles. This print serves as a timeless reminder of both triumphs and setbacks faced by racers like Cyril Pullin at such historic events. It captures not only their passion but also showcases how innovation played an integral role in shaping motorcycle history.
