EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the thrilling world of motorcycle racing in 1960. The image captures a heart-pounding moment during the sidecar TT race on Bray Hill, where Bill Beevers fearlessly guns it through the treacherous track. However, what makes this picture truly remarkable is John Chisnall buried in the chair beside him. But there's more to this story than meets the eye. Behind their daring ride lies an intriguing tale of BMW's protective nature towards their Rennsport model spares. If anything broke during these high-speed races, Bill had no choice but to take the damaged piece all the way back to the factory for replacement - albeit at a hefty price! This photograph serves as a testament not only to Beevers and Chisnall's skill and bravery but also highlights BMW's commitment to maintaining quality control over their prized motorcycles. It showcases how even in extreme racing conditions, every effort was made by both rider and manufacturer alike to ensure that nothing compromised performance or safety. As we gaze upon this vintage snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but be captivated by the sheer determination etched on Beevers' face as he navigates his powerful machine through one of motorcycling's most iconic circuits. This print encapsulates an era when speed demons like Beevers pushed boundaries while manufacturers like BMW held tight reins on their valuable spare parts - resulting in unforgettable moments forever etched into motorsport
