EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the thrilling world of motorcycle racing in the 1950s. The image showcases Ted Frand, a skilled rider and teammate of the legendary Les Graham, as he fearlessly navigates his AJS Porcupine through Braddan Bridge during the 1950 Senior TT. The AJS Porcupine was an iconic machine originally designed by Joe Craig with a supercharger. Although its post-war version did not feature this enhancement, it still proved to be formidable enough for Les Graham to secure the World Championship title in 1949. Now, here we witness Ted Frend pushing this powerful bike to its limits on one of the most challenging sections of the race circuit. As we examine every detail captured in this black-and-white photograph, we can almost feel the adrenaline coursing through our veins. The determination etched on Ted's face reflects his unwavering focus and commitment to conquering each twist and turn with precision and skill. This print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and sheer bravery displayed by these racers who risked everything for their passion. It encapsulates an era when speed demons like Ted Frend pushed boundaries while embodying true sportsmanship. For any motorsport enthusiast or history buff, this remarkable snapshot is more than just a visual memento; it is a gateway into an exhilarating time when men dared greatly on two wheels.
