I am the son of H.J.Bacon(Bert), a 1920s -1940s TT rider, and am gathering material about his 1920's to 1950's motoring. My father spent the family fortune on racing motorbikes and cars, both at the TT and Brooklands.I have a number of medals and photos etc., including his Bmzee (British Motor Cycle Club) gold star ,1930 , the first 100mph average for a 500cc class, (BSA Gold Star) , I believe?

I have seen photos of him at the TT with a number 31 on a Sunbeam? bike and would be grateful if you anyone has any info on good o'l Bertie?

He rode in the Junior Amateur TT in the 20's ,I think, as well as the Senior TT later in the 30's .

He rode his last TT under the name B.Shaw at the age of 49 in the late 40s and came 8th , I believe.

If anyone else has any more info please email.... bertie@camdenmarket.co.uk
Thanks.... Gra ham Bacon(my father had a sense of humor!)
