Description
Everyone with an interest in motorcycle racing, or in motorcycles
of the 'Classic' era, has heard of the Clubman's TT. If asked,
no doubt many could add some recollections from magazine articles
describing these races held in the Isle of Man in the years following
the Second World War. But question further, and it is likely that
apart from remembering that the races were dominated by the BSA
Gold Star, and maybe that Geoff Duke and Bob McIntyre took part
in the early races, little else would be known.
The History of the Clubman's TT Races 1947 - 1956 gives a race-by-race
account of the series, with full race results, a full list of
riders and their entrant clubs, supplemented by many photographs
illustrating the breadth of talent and machines that were pitted
against the world-famous TT Mountain Course (and, for one year,
the 10.79 mile Clypse Course). In addition, there are over 20
from-the-saddle articles by riders.
Foreword is by Bernard Codd, double winner of the last Clubman's
TT races to be held in the Island.
