Royal-Enfield-110 1936 - Honours were even at a wet and windy Donington Park on Easter Bank Holiday, with Norman Croft (499cc Rudge) and Ginger Wood (492cc New Imperial, left) taking a win and a second apiece in the large capacity solo races. The pair set the crowd alight in the unlimited solo race; despite the Rudge appearing the faster machine, the lead regularly swapped until after the halfway stage. With Croft breathing down his neck, Wood (left) took the chequered flag with a race speed of 65.59mph, but less than a second separated the pair Keywords: bike, Mortons Archive, Mortons Media Group Ltd, Motorbike, Motorcycle, RE, Royal Enfield

cr2009cnov Phil Read’s comeback Isle of Man TT ride couldn’t have been more unpopular among the TT cognoscenti, many of whom held him largely responsible for the Island races losing their World Championship status. With the inaugural Formula 1 Championship, decided on just one race in the Isle of Man in 1977, Read saw an opportunity to revive his career and take advantage of the generous start money offered by the organisers. Despite the obvious disapproval from sections of the crowd, Read kept his cool and rode his Honda Britain sponsored bike to victory in the weather-shortened race. But even that moment of glory was shrouded in controversy. With speculation that the Honda crew had received a tip off from an official that the flag would go out early, Read stayed out rather than pitting, while his nearest rival, Welshman Roger Nicholls, came in as planned and lost valuable time and with it any chance of victory.
