We had a Motor Bike show on Paignton Green this Bank Holiday weekend. Loads of bikes and bikers and not a single face mask to be seen.There was this action, see how many motor bikes we can jump over then along to the Show Section.
The Brough Superior was built in 1931 which makes it fairly old as motor cycles go. TE Lawrence was riding a model like this when he swerved to avoid two boys on cycles and crashed. He died 6 days later from serious head injuries. It is said that one of the doctors who treated him campaigned for many years for the use of crash helmets by motor cyclists and though he failed to save Lawrence's live he ended up saying the lives of countless motorcyclists since.
