EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the thrilling era of motorcycle racing in 1961. Liverpudlian rider Gary Dickinson stands proudly beside his trusty 125 Ducati, known as "The Mighty Atom". Despite its diminutive size, this powerful machine packs a punch that belies its appearance. As we gaze at the image, it becomes apparent that Gary is dwarfed by his formidable Ducati. However, there's more to this story than meets the eye. A remarkable detail emerges - Gary had to carry a lead weight attached to his bike due to being below the minimum weight requirement for races. This unique challenge only adds to our admiration for his skills and determination on the track. Gary's passion for racing shines through as we learn about his extensive career in the Ultra Lightweight class from 1958 until 1970. His dedication paid off when he secured an impressive third-place finish in the prestigious 1969 race. This print captures not just a moment frozen in time but also represents an entire era of motorcycling history. It serves as a testament to both Gary Dickinson's unwavering spirit and the enduring legacy of Ducati motorcycles.
