Information provided by Helen Murison
Helen Murison is the daughter of an Indian Hillclimber by the name of William Brazenor. He was quite a skilled rider and won more than a few events. She sent me these pictures and text below, I agreed to host them for her. Enjoy, and Thanks Helen. John Clauss
Group Photo: My dad William Brazenor in Indian shirt and his bike (I think it's his)
Do you recognize anyone?
My dad on way to or from a hillclimb...great picture of his bike
The baby photo (that's me) was taken in 1929...I was told that I was six weeks
old when I had my first ride, and my birthday is March 19, 1929. My mother,
Helen, is in front of the car, Dad is holding me, and that's his mother, Agnes
Brazenor, next to him. I don't know when he quit hillclimbing, but he never
quit riding. I don't know where this was taken, My mother could drive, so
perhaps she drove the car and Dad was on the cycle. (obviously not a hillclimbing
machine.) I know they did go to meets. These are the only pictures that I
have but will ask my youngest sister if she has any. She has the whole family
collection at her house. (SC). She also has all of his medals and cups so
I need to ask her to send me dates, wins, etc. I have a beautiful long-sleeved
satin shirt with INDIAN in red (like on the machines). New, never worn. My
middle sister has the "chaps", leather leg coverings, and I have
2 caps with straps, one is cotton, one suede type leather.
My Dad and his youngest brother, Walter (Wally Brazenor) in my grandmother's
driveway, Howard Beach, LINY. I believe this is around 1921 as Wally was born
in 1918.
Dad was born in 1902.
