FOR those who like thrills, there are plenty of places in which to seek them. Crook plays, the movies, steeplechasing, prize-fights— all provide their quota ; but for real genuine hair-raising excitement, one thrill following so fast on the next that one never gets one's breath back at all, nothing can beat the Tourist Trophy races in the Isle of Man, when racing motor-cycles flash along the roads and skid round corners at an incredible number of miles an hour. And, of course, the races serve a very useful purpose in providing a test for the manufacturers, and giving British riders and British machines a chance to show their powers in competition with their rivals from abroad. This eye-witness account will be given by an expert, whose name carries weight in all the circles where motor-cycle racing and production are discussed.
