EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the exhilarating world of motorcycle racing in 1933. The image showcases Harley-Davidson's powerful 1208 cc motorbike, accompanied by a sidecar, as it competes in the prestigious MCC Lands End Trial at Hustyn Hill, Wadebridge, Cornwall. The event entry number 83 belongs to driver R. W. Praill, who skillfully navigates his way through the challenging terrain. Praill's exceptional performance is recognized with a Premier award for his outstanding achievement on this demanding course. As we delve into the scene captured by photographer Bill Brunell, we are transported to an era where motorcycling was not only a sport but also a thrilling form of entertainment for spectators. Crowds gather along the lane leading up to Hustyn Hill, eagerly watching every twist and turn of this exciting race. Amidst the excitement and adrenaline-fueled atmosphere, we spot both men and women captivated by this display of speed and skill. A lady passenger can be seen confidently seated in the sidecar while numerous spectators line the street, their eyes fixed on these daredevil riders. This vintage photograph serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with motorcycling history. It offers us a glimpse into an era when motorcycles were more than just means of transportation; they represented freedom, adventure, and triumph over formidable challenges.
