EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a remarkable piece of motorcycle history. Meet Sally, the legendary Manx Norton with an illustrious past that spans decades. Bob Dowty Jr. , following in his father's footsteps, skillfully maneuvers this long-stroke beauty into Governorss Bridge. Purchased for Bob Snr. back in 1952, this iconic machine holds significant historical value. It was none other than Geoff Duke who took Sally to Japan on his inaugural visit in 1960 to showcase its prowess through demonstration rides. Little did he know that this act would serve as a pivotal moment for the British motorcycle industry. Geoff's endorsement of the Japanese motorcycles during those rides hinted at their potential to build exceptional machines – a notion that has since become widely acknowledged and celebrated by enthusiasts worldwide. This particular snapshot captures not only the timeless elegance of Sally but also pays homage to her role in shaping the future of motorcycling. As we gaze upon this image from BikeSport TT Race Pics, it serves as a reminder of how one bike can leave an indelible mark on an entire industry. Let us cherish Sally and all she represents – a testament to innovation, performance, and the enduring spirit of two-wheeled adventure!
