With a bit more investigation it is discovered that the photo comes from a series of M&ATA National Championship races held at Los Angeles’ old Ascot Park in January 1920, just as professional motorcycle racing in America was rebooting after WWI. The riders then begin to come into focus, from left to right, as Freddie Ludlow, Ralph Hepburn, Albert “Shrimp” Burns, and Otto Walker, but if the caption were to end there far too much of the story would remain untold.This week’s post is somewhat of a followup on another that I wrote back on January 17th of this year, which detailed an intimate moment captured between Shrimp Burns and Otto Walker, two of America’s most beloved motorcycle racing pioneers. The photograph came from the first M&ATA National Championship race of the 1920 season, held at the old Ascot Speedway in Los Angeles on January 11th, 1920. This photograph comes from the very same event and lets us dig a bit deeper into the palpable camaraderie, brotherhood, and potential tensions between these timeless icons. It also raises an interesting question. Shrimp, dressed in all leather second from the right, was photographed here alongside his old racing teammates, posing onboard one of the factory Harley-Davidson’s no less, but was no longer a member of the Milwaukee team. The youngest star of the Harley-Davidson team had just abruptly left the week before to race for Harley’s most formidable rival, Indian. Yet here he is, onboard what must have been Leslie Parkhurst’s factory Harley despite his freshly severed allegiance to the Milwaukee mothership.
