Podcast 628: Across the Line: War Heroes of the TT w/ Sarah Williams

Cyril Williams was an Isle of Man TT racer, riding his AJS to victory in 1920. The TT is known as one of the most dangerous races in the world, yet this paled in comparison to what he experienced just a couple of years before. During the World War 1, TT racers were brought in with their race bikes to serve as dispatch riders, risking their lives by outrunning bullets to insure critical messages were delivered to and from the front the lines. Sarah Williams, the great granddaughter of Cyril, is a filmmaker who is bringing his and the other riders stories to the big screen. Narrated by Charley Boorman, this film has all the makings of a riveting story that has yet to be told, and you can be a part of it too. Sarah has a kickstarter raising funds to get the film made, and needs your help. Go to https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/acrosstheline/across-the-line-war-heroes-of-the-tt-with-charley-boorman to contribute. Following this, Emma gifts us with a History Hole on AJS motorcycles, which have had many lives in the past 115 years. And lastly, we finish with listener emails.
