498 cc Levis of AJ Hicks Conquering Beggars Roost in the MCC Lands End Trial, Devon, 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the 1930s, we witness a thrilling moment in motorcycling history. The image showcases AJ Hicks fearlessly maneuvering his powerful 498 cc Levis motorcycle up the treacherous slopes of Beggars Roost in Devon during the prestigious MCC Lands End Trial. Dressed in his rugged riding gear and donning a coat to combat the chilly English weather, Hicks epitomizes the spirit of adventure and determination that defined motorcyclists of that era. As he skillfully navigates through the rustic countryside lane, spectators line both sides of the road, their excited faces reflecting anticipation and awe. The steep incline serves as a metaphor for Hicks' uphill climb towards victory. His exceptional riding skills are evident as he conquers every challenge thrown at him by nature's geographical features. This vintage motorbike rally not only tests riders' endurance but also showcases Britain's love affair with motorsport. This remarkable photograph captures a significant moment in British motoring history – an era when motorcycles were more than just means of transportation; they represented freedom, excitement, and personal triumphs on wheels. Preserved by Heritage Images for future generations to admire, this snapshot immortalizes AJ Hick's silver award-winning performance at Beggars Roost North Devon on April 10th-11th, 1936.
