EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the thrilling world of motorcycle racing in 1966. The image showcases the legendary rider Gary Dickinson as he leaves Governors Bridge during the ultra lightweight TT race on his Honda bike. However, what sets Dickinson apart is not just his exceptional skill but also his unique physical stature. Standing at a sightly shorter height than most racers, Dickinson had to find innovative ways to meet the minimum racing weight requirement. As we observe closely, a lead block can be seen securely fastened under his left boot - an ingenious solution that allowed him to compete on equal footing with other riders. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the determination and resourcefulness of individuals like Gary Dickinson who refuse to let any obstacle hinder their passion for speed and adrenaline. It symbolizes the spirit of ingenuity and perseverance that defines motorsports. Today, this iconic bike featuring prominently in the Honda display at the Manx Museum stands as a reminder of both Dickinson's remarkable achievements and Honda's commitment to pushing boundaries in motorcycle engineering. This print encapsulates an era where human resilience met technological innovation, leaving an indelible mark on motorcycling history.
