Capturing the Thrill of Victory - RW Praill and his 1208 cc Harley-Davidson Sidecar at MCC Torquay Rally, 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the 1930s, we are transported back to a time when motorcycling was not just a means of transportation but also an exhilarating sport. The image showcases RW Praill, adorned in his racing gear, astride his powerful 1208 cc Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a sidecar attached. Praill's remarkable achievement is highlighted by the silver award proudly displayed on his bike. This prestigious recognition was earned at the renowned MCC Torquay Rally held in Devon, England. As he confidently navigates through the picturesque countryside lanes and moorlands, Praill demonstrates both skillful riding and mastery over his machine. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this snapshot of motoring history. It perfectly captures the spirit of adventure that defined motorbike racing during this era. Bill Brunell expertly frames the scene, showcasing not only Praill's triumph but also providing us with glimpses of life along this avenue in rural Britain. As we admire this vintage photograph, let us appreciate how it encapsulates an important chapter in both American and British motorcycling culture. With its rich heritage preserved within our National Motor Museum archives, it serves as a reminder of how these early pioneers paved the way for modern-day motorsport enthusiasts worldwide.
