This photograph captures the daring spirit of motorcycling in the early 1900s, featuring motorcyclist Freddie Barnes riding a 1912 Zenith Gradua motorcycle. The Zenith Gradua, a British motorcycle manufactured by the Zenith Motor Cycle Company, was a popular choice among riders due to its powerful 1000cc JAP (J.A. Prestwich) twin engine. With its fours layout and impressive speed capabilities, it was a favorite among racing enthusiasts and works teams. In this image, Freddie Barnes, a director and accomplished motorcyclist, exudes confidence and control as he expertly maneuvers the vintage motorbike. The registration number "KE 6064" can be seen prominently displayed on the motorcycle's fuel tank, adding to its historical significance. The photograph, taken circa 1912, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the thrill and excitement of motorcycling during the early days of this popular mode of transportation. The Zenith Gradua motorcycle, with its sleek design and powerful engine, represents the ingenuity and innovation of the era. Freddie Barnes' bold riding style and focused expression convey the sense of freedom and adventure that drew so many to the sport during this period. This photograph is not only a testament to the rich history of motorcycling but also a reminder of the enduring allure and passion that continues to captivate riders and enthusiasts alike.
