Capturing the Thrill of Victory - FJ Sturley and his 1208 cc Harley-Davidson at the MCC Torquay Rally, July 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the exhilarating world of motorcycle racing in 1930s America. The image showcases FJ Sturley astride his powerful Harley-Davidson, winner of a prestigious bronze award at the renowned MCC Torquay Rally. The monochrome composition beautifully contrasts with the rugged countryside backdrop of Devon, England. As Sturley confidently navigates through a winding country lane, we can almost feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins. Bill Brunell's expert photography captures every detail - from the sleek lines of Sturley's motorbike to his determined expression as he conquers each twist and turn on this challenging moorland course. The image perfectly encapsulates both the thrill and skill required for success in motorcycle trials during this era. As one gazes upon this remarkable piece of history, it becomes evident that motorcycles were not merely a means of transportation but symbols of freedom and adventure. They represented an escape from mundane routines into a world where speed and daring reigned supreme. This photograph is not just a testament to FJ Sturley's triumph but also serves as a reminder of how motorcycling became an integral part of American culture during the early 20th century. It stands as an enduring tribute to those who pushed boundaries
