British Bikes / Re: Motorbike sidecar racing - Stuart Lewis

Thank you everyone.  This forum has been very informative.  I appreciate it.
I now know that Stuart was a serious motor bike enthusiast.   Will have to try and find whether he had joined a racing group.  It is very interesting, and didn’t know that it was such a huge sport in those days.
Thanks again
Cheers,

Unknown rider and era3 looks to be a 7R AJS. The "boys racer".
Can't quite pick the year. They started in 1948, and ran through to the early 1960s.
Think its earlier than later, but someone who really knows them could say better.

Thank you for replying. Will Google the 'boys racer'.  An observation I haven't seen before is the crowd in the above photo look like they are from the army, and the buildings could be barracks.

Here are a couple more photos of Stuart on motorbikes, from WWI.

Thank you L.A.B. I have just checked the Panther online.  Would Stuart's have been a 600cc?
Thanks again,

British Bikes / Motorbike sidecar racing - Stuart Lewis

Hi,
I have a few photos of my godmother’s husband, whom we never met. All we know is that he was known by us as Stuart Lewis (aka B. W. Lewis on an i.d.) and he used to race motorbike sidecars in England. He died in 1954 and we presume he was born in the 1890’s. 
We were told by his wife Bette, that he was an avid motorbike lover, she even rode one. He and Bette lived in Oxfordshire, and at one time owned a Cowley pub there. I have some photos of Stuart in a race and some other photos from that era with unknown riders. Do you know what type of bikes Stuart is riding?
We are really finding it hard to get information on Stuart and would love to know if anyone can recognise him please? We would like to know his real name, Stuart or B. W Lewis.
Thank you for reading.
Kind Regards,
pmmc_au.
Australia.
