As a teenager I read Seven Pillars without much comprehension,
but I re-read it in my late twenties and began to
understand that it was more than a great "boy's own" yarn. When I discovered
that he was also a motorcyclist I started building this page.
At the time, there was only one other page on the net about him and
that one was mostly about his guns. That page has gone (though I have a partial
archive of it somewhere) but there are now many others proclaiming the
machine as the rightful owner of the phrase, "The Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles",
and Lawrence hailed as its most aclaimed rider.
If there were a top ten of motorcyclists, where would he reside, I wonder.
So here it is on the eve of 2008, and I'm embarking on a rebuild of
one of the first sites I created....
Thank you, Peter, for the inspiration.
