Ken Leach (KB Leach) is shown as riding a Velocette in the 1934 Junior MGP. However, I have a signed photo of him aboard a Norton. Could the database be wrong? - Brian Sussex Report this
Thanks Brian, you're right. I checked iMuseum Newspapers & Publications website and found it was indeed a Norton: https://www.imuseum.im/Olive/APA/IsleofMan/SharedView.Article.aspx?href=PCG/1934/09/15&id=Ar00300&sk=932BEC37&viewMode=image Thanks for flagging this up, the machine is now correct on the record.
