In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling world of motorcycle racing in 1930. The Junior TT race is captured in its full glory, with Kenzo Tada proudly posing alongside his trusty Velocette KTT. This image tells a story of determination and resilience as Tada reflects on an eventful practice session and race that tested both man and machine. Despite numerous falls along the treacherous course, he managed to push through the challenges and secure a commendable 15th place finish among the 22 racers who crossed the line. Little did Tada know at that time, but his passion for motorcycles would later shape history. As fate would have it, he went on to become Japan's representative for FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme) - a role that allowed him to influence one of the most iconic figures in motorcycling: Soichiro Honda. Tada's expertise played a pivotal role when he advised Honda to send a team of talented racers to compete in future TT races. This decision proved instrumental not only for Honda's success but also for Japanese motorcycling as a whole. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we can't help but appreciate how one man's dedication led him from being just another racer at the Junior TT to becoming an influential figure behind some of Japan's greatest motorsport achievements.
