Credit
for the idea of doing a photoshoot on Hellbent
Racing's expedition to the Isle
of Man goes to racing compatriot Simon Reilly.
HB's
Hellfire McDermott suggested that
I call Race Marshall Organizer Keith McKay
on the Island. |
English
racer
Peter Darvill
is seen in the middle on our
featured machine, on which he took
second place in
the Senior, (500 Race) in 1962 and 1963.
He
won the Junior Manx GP (250 Race) outright on the AJS.
the Manx has Open Valve Springs, so the jets spray oil onto the valve stems, and all over the Rider... so the foam sleeves inside the springs
the lean angle is telling : flattened pipe describes how hard the riders were pushing in the 50s....
