Sir Conan Doyle as a Motor Cyclist

(22 march 1905, p. 6)

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has entered his Roc cycle for the international motor cycle cup. Sir Arthur is a keen motor cyclist, but it is not likely he will ride his own machine. The other entrants include Mr Franklin, the winner of all the motor cycle races on Portmarnock Beach last year; Mr Charles Jarrott of Gordon-Bennett fame; and the Humber, Wall, and Collier firms. The eliminating trials will take place in the Isle of Man on May 31st, and the cup race in France on June.
