EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling era of the 1929 Amateur TT, a precursor to the renowned Manx Grand Prix. The focus of this image is none other than Noel Mavrogordato, affectionately known as "Mavro" an iconic figure in motorcycle racing history. With Parliament Square serving as his backdrop, Mavro exudes confidence astride his trusty two-stroke Scott bike. This particular race marked another milestone for him in a long-standing tradition of riding these powerful machines on the Isle of Man. From his impressive debut in 1926 with a commendable seventh place finish at an average speed of 52 mph to his remarkable ninth place achievement in the Ultra Lightweight TT event aboard an EMC-Puch machine in 1952 at an average speed of 57 mph - Mavro's dedication and skill were undeniable. This photograph encapsulates not only Mavro's unwavering passion for motorcycle racing but also pays homage to the evolution and significance of two-stroke engines during that time period. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the roar of engines and feel the excitement radiating from both rider and spectators alike. Noel Mavrogordato may have left us physically, but through images like these, he continues to inspire generations who appreciate both vintage motorcycling heritage and those who dare to push boundaries on their beloved bikes today.
