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. Brock rode OEC in the 1934 TT and as far back as 1928 won the 600cc class of the Ulster GP. He also managed and rode the Wall of Death and was the only Irishman to gain a Brookllands Gold Medal for lapping at over 100 mph

In this photo print, the rain-soaked hedges serve as a shelter for eager spectators who eagerly await the arrival of George Brockerton on his legendary Dick Chamberlain Bitza. The year is 1951, and the atmosphere at the Senior Ulster GP is electric with anticipation. George Brockerton, a name synonymous with speed and skill, has an impressive racing history that spans decades. Having previously ridden OEC in the prestigious 1934 TT race, he has proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with on two wheels. In fact, as far back as 1928, he emerged victorious in the fiercely competitive 600cc class of the Ulster GP. However, it is his association with the enigmatic Dick Chamberlain Bitza that truly sets him apart. This unique machine was constructed from ten different motorcycles - a testament to both engineering ingenuity and Brock's unwavering determination to push boundaries. Beyond his accomplishments on track, George Brockerton's versatility shines through. Not only did he manage and ride on Wall of Death circuits but also became Ireland's sole recipient of a Brooklands Gold Medal for exceeding speeds of over 100 mph during laps. As we gaze upon this historic image captured by BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are reminded not only of George Brockerton's remarkable achievements but also of how motorcycle racing can unite enthusiasts even amidst challenging weather conditions.
