Capturing the essence of a bygone era, this vintage print takes us back to the exhilarating world of motorcycle racing in 1913. The image showcases a pivotal moment during the TT (Tourist Trophy) race at Braddan Bridge, where three iconic riders - Georg Herman on his Puch (138), George Brough on his Zenith (98), and Alister Kirk riding Triumph (56) - are seen refuelling their machines. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as these fearless competitors prepare for one of the most challenging races of their time. Notably, George Brough's Brough flat twin with ABC engine encountered technical issues during practice, forcing him to make an audacious decision. Determined not to miss out on the action, he borrowed a Zenith bike from another rider and cleverly adorned it with a makeshift Brough sticker. However, fate had other plans for G. B. , as he was forced to retire from the race prematurely. Nevertheless, this photograph immortalizes an unforgettable moment in motorcycling history when passion and ingenuity collided on the racetrack. Preserved through time, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era defined by daring individuals who pushed boundaries and embraced challenges head-on. It serves as a testament to the spirit of adventure that continues to inspire generations of motorcycle enthusiasts today.
