"John Kidson: A Legendary Rider with a Passion for Classic Races" From the thrilling Guzzi laps in 2006 and 1964 Lightweight TT to his remarkable performances on AJS, Maurice Cann Guzzi, and Honda bikes, it has left an indelible mark on the world of motorcycle racing. In 2011, during the Classic TT Lap on his beloved AJS bike, John showcased his exceptional skills once again. The crowd was captivated by his flawless maneuvers and impeccable timing as he navigated through the challenging course. But it wasn't just about speed for John; he had a deep appreciation for vintage motorcycles. In the 1990 Lightweight Classic Manx Grand Prix, riding an Aermacchi bike, he paid homage to the golden era of racing. His parade lap that year also allowed spectators to witness firsthand his genuine love for these classic machines. Throughout his career, John faced challenges head-on. In 1986's Classic Junior Manx Grand Prix on an Aermacchi bike, only a few hundred yards from an off didn't deter him from giving it his all. He pushed himself beyond limits and demonstrated true determination. The Manx Grand Prix Parade in 2008 saw John back on a Guzzi bike at its finest hour - showcasing not only skill but also paying tribute to this iconic event steeped in history. With every race he participated in – whether it be Production TT or Parade Laps – John Kidson exemplified what it means to be a true racer: passion, dedication, and unwavering commitment. As we reflect upon John's incredible journey as a rider who etched himself into motorsport history books with each lap completed flawlessly or near misses overcome bravely - one thing remains clear: His legacy will forever inspire future generations of riders seeking their own place among legends.
