In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the thrilling world of motorcycle racing in 1966. The image captures the legendary Dave Simmons astride his trusted Tohatsu bike as he speeds away from Governor's Bridge during the Isle of Man TT race. Dave Simmons, a true icon in the sport, had been riding Tohatsu motorcycles for many years at this point. Known for his exceptional skills and unwavering determination, he showcased his talent by finishing an impressive 11th place in the fiercely competitive 125 category. However, it was not until later that Dave would switch to Kawasaki and etch his name into history. In 1969, with sheer skill and dedication, he brought Kawasaki their first-ever World Championship title in the Ultra Lightweight class. This remarkable achievement solidified Dave's status as one of the greatest riders of his time. The photograph perfectly captures both the intensity and grace with which Dave maneuvered through each turn on his sleek machine. With every twist and bend on that iconic Isle of Man circuit, he left spectators breathless with anticipation. This print serves as a timeless reminder of an era when courageous riders like Dave Simmons pushed themselves to their limits on two wheels.
