George Brockerton and the Bitza

Spectators huddle in the rain-soaked hedges as George Brockerton passes by on the Dick Chamberlain Bitza in the 1951 Senior Ulster GP. The Bitza was constructed from ten different machines.

He also managed and rode the Wall of Death and was the only Irishman to gain a Brooklland's Gold Medal for lapping at over 100 mph
