Capturing the Thrill of Motorcycling - The 490 cc DKW of HS Yelland in the MCC Torquay Rally, 1938
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by artist Bill Brunell, we are transported back to the exhilarating world of motorcycling in 1930s Britain. The image showcases a vintage DKW motorcycle, with its powerful 490 cc engine, as it competes in the prestigious MCC Torquay Rally. The focus is on rider HS Yelland, a fearless female motorcyclist who fearlessly takes on the challenging rally course. Clad in her riding gear and exuding confidence, she navigates through a rustic countryside lane lined with spectators eagerly watching her every move. Brunell's monochrome composition beautifully captures both the speed and grace of Yelland's ride. The timeless appeal of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of an exciting sporting event but also in its ability to transport us to a bygone era when motorcycling was still relatively new and daring. This image serves as a testament to the passion for motoring that has endured throughout history. It reminds us that even then, women were breaking barriers and making their mark on traditionally male-dominated sports. Preserved within the National Motor Museum archives, this remarkable snapshot offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the artistry behind Brunell's work and the indomitable spirit embodied by riders like HS Yelland during one unforgettable summer weekend in July
