EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Just Testing" we are transported back to the thrilling world of motorcycle racing in 1954. Vic Willoughby, a renowned technical editor for Motorcycling magazine, fearlessly takes on the challenge of riding Ken Swallows' G45 Matchless with its innovative leading-link forked suspension system. The setting is none other than the legendary Mountain Mile, where journalists were given the unique opportunity to test their skills on these powerful machines during the TT races. As Willoughby leans into a sharp turn, his determination and expertise are evident as he navigates through the treacherous twists and turns of this iconic circuit. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when motorcycling journalism was at its peak. It showcases both Willoughby's courage behind the handlebars and his dedication to providing readers with firsthand experiences of these exhilarating machines. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we can almost feel ourselves being transported back to that bygone era - hearing the roar of engines, feeling the rush of wind against our faces, and witnessing firsthand what it meant to be part of such an adrenaline-fueled sport. "Just Testing" serves as a testament to those who pushed boundaries in pursuit of speed and excitement while capturing a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter in motorcycle racing history.
