  • I remember some tests that were made by Norton (Lockheed) of an anti locking brakes, and nothing was done after the tests. What was the first to believe in this technology was the BMW line K. Today scooter to use this type of brake. Today there is a kind of brake called 360 °brack , much like a clutch, but it seems that no one is paying attention.

  • Actually the movie starts at the end, but the scene shows the last moments of E. T. Lawrence

  • The best kind

  • He should have bought a Norton and would have had little trouble avoiding bikes, trees and the like...

  • Totally agree

  • With all sincerity.

    I have interest in old bikes.

    And Lowrence had several Brough Superior.

  • nice

  • I wonder what kind of bike they used in the movie. No way they laid down a real Brough Superior in the movie.

  • the biggest problem in the 40's to 70's was the braking. until discs on bikes (and cars) the performance and speed progressed, buth the stopoing power lagged. i worked at a company that developed anti-skid braking for cars in the 60's but no one would buy so they sold the patent. mistake.

  • @matador5135

    Apparently one of the doctor who saw him die later went on to invent the crash helmet. Or so the story goes.

  • I would encourage anyne interested in Lawrence's story to visit his cottage at Clouds Hill, which is admitably maintained and run by the National Trust

  • @noushitaisa You have one?

  • Actually, this is not the end of the movie; rather the begginning--like Gandhi....

  • @kruifer That and a helmet....
