@tom.sheardAbout
Thomas Mylchreest Sheard Jnr, a motorcycle racer with two victories at the Isle of Man TT races, was a great nephew to Joseph Mylchreest, the 'Diamond King'. The 1922 Junior TT race was won by local competitor Sheard riding an AJS motorcycle at an average race speed of 54.75 mph. Hutchison Tyres were used on AJS machines in 1922, and Sheard featured in their adverts of the time. An example of this was in "The Scotsman" newspaper after the TT win in 1922. In 1923, Douglas had their first Senior TT race victory with Sheard winning on a 500 cc machine. Sheard was one of only five riders in the world to trial disc brakes on a Douglas motorcycle. Other riders to trial the disc-braked Douglas were Freddie Dixon and Sydney Ollerhead. Read more
