Herbert le Vack Gold Star Centenary
27th Oct 2022
Herbert LeVack was according to many who research this period ‘one of, if not the greatest rider of his time’. He started competing and designing bikes before the First World War, but came to prominence during the 1920’s. Riding a 994cc Indian, nicknamed “the Camel” he competed in races and record attempts. The high point of his career should have been 1921 when he attempted to become the first person to reach 100mph at Brooklands. However, the title was snatched from his grasp in dramatic fashion when Douglas Davidson, riding a Harley Davidson got the record. The 34 year-old Le Vack, devastated, and with a broken highly tuned motorcycle was on the brink of walking away from the sport.
