EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the spirit of motorcycling in 1930s Britain. The image showcases a Rudge-Whitworth motorcycle, accompanied by a sidecar, as it competes in the prestigious MCC Edinburgh Trial. The event entry number 54 belongs to the skilled driver F. V. Garratt, who fearlessly takes on the challenging terrain. The photograph transports us back to a time when motorcycling was not just a means of transportation but also an exhilarating sport. As we gaze at this monochrome scene, we can almost feel the excitement emanating from the crowds lining both sides of the avenue. Spectators eagerly watch as Garratt skillfully maneuvers his vintage motorbike through hairpin bends and steep uphill climbs. The image beautifully captures the metaphorical journey that these riders embarked upon - conquering physical obstacles while pushing their limits. It serves as a testament to human determination and passion for adventure. Bill Brunell's expert photography skills bring this momentous event to life, showcasing not only the thrilling action but also providing us with glimpses of everyday street scenes and people going about their lives amidst this exciting spectacle. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate how far transportation has come since then while cherishing our shared heritage and celebrating those who paved the way for modern motorsport.
