Some Random Clicks On Road…

Jason Momoa loving life at the 2023 Goodwood Revival, riding a 1930 Brough Superior SS100 with some cool history.

In 1935 this machine was in the hands of a chap called Jack Swaine who used the bike, bolted to a sidecar, for general family duties… that was until the amateur racing scene became more accessible to aspiring boy-racers. The SS100 was an extremely capable racing machine, and so began the transformation of a practical utility bike, to a track monster! The task was handed to Eric Fernihough - he replaced the cylinder heads with forward facing dirt-track types, and installed special cams, albeit the original touring (7:1) compression ratio was retained. The exhaust system was modified to suit the new setup and the cantilever type rear suspension was locked up with struts in an attempt to improve the handling of the bike.

Jack took his newly modified Brough to the Brooklands Motorcycle Clubman’s Day in 1935 and did extremely well… he came 1st in the Flying Kilometre sidecar event (unlimited capacity) and 3rd in the Flying Kilometre Solo event (750cc+).

The next chapter of the motorcycle is unknown, however in recent times the bike was resurrected having been laid up for the best part of 30 years. What a machine!
