EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful photograph captures the essence of carefree fun and adventure during the Roaring Twenties, as two young men proudly display their Rex Motorcycle and Sidecar on the sandy shores of Margate, Kent, in the early 1920s. The Rex Motorcycle, with its sleek design and powerful Blackburne engine, was a popular choice for those seeking thrills and freedom on the open road. The addition of the sidecar provided extra seating and practicality, making it an ideal mode of transport for a day at the seaside. The beach is dotted with colorful deckchairs, inviting sunbathers to relax and soak up the sun. The gentle lapping of the waves against the shore creates a serene backdrop to the scene, while the distant pier and amusement park add to the lively atmosphere of the resort. The young men, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, appear to be in high spirits as they pose with their motorcycle, their faces reflecting the joy and excitement of the moment. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life seemed simpler and more carefree. It serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of the open road and the freedom it offers, as well as the timeless allure of the seaside and the memories it creates.
