EDITORS COMMENTS

Hole fearlessly navigating his powerful 172 cc SOS motorcycle through a treacherous bend at Beggars Roost in North Devon. With his determined expression hidden beneath a coat that billows with speed, Hole embodies the spirit of adventure and competition. The MCC Lands End Trial was renowned for its challenging terrain and demanding uphill climbs, making it an ultimate test of skill for motorcyclists like Hole. As he deftly maneuvers his vintage motorbike along the rustic lane surrounded by Exmoor's picturesque countryside, we can almost feel the excitement radiating from this historic event. The crowd gathered on either side of the road adds to the atmosphere as spectators cheer on their favorite riders during this exhilarating rally. This snapshot captures not only an individual rider's triumph but also represents a larger metaphor for human determination and perseverance. Preserved by Heritage Images, this remarkable photograph serves as a window into British motoring history during the early 20th century.
