Capturing the Thrill of the MCC Lands End Trial - AJS and Sidecar Conquer Beggars Roost, Devon, 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1936, we witness an exhilarating moment during the MCC Lands End Trial. The image showcases CF Crossby fearlessly maneuvering his powerful 990 cc AJS motorbike with a sidecar through the challenging terrain of Beggars Roost in North Devon. The rider's skill is evident as he navigates the steep hillside lane, defying gravity and pushing both machine and himself to their limits. With determination etched on his face, Crossby demonstrates true mastery over his vintage motorcycle as he conquers nature's obstacles. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot of British motoring history. It transports us back to a bygone era when motorcycling was not just a mode of transport but also a thrilling sport that captivated enthusiasts across the country. This photograph serves as a metaphor for human resilience and our unyielding spirit in overcoming challenges. It embodies the adventurous spirit that defined rural life in England during the 1930s. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene captured by WJ Brunell, we are reminded of how far transportation has come since then. Yet, it also sparks nostalgia for simpler times when open roads beckoned riders to explore new horizons. This historic image stands as a testament to both man and machine – their indomitable bond forged through shared triumphs on rugged landscapes like Beggars Roost.
