Don MacShane

Cutting a dapper figure whilst riding a scrambler sorted Triumph Cub over a Hudson River bridge is the talented racer Don MacShane.

#199 he utilized the wee 200cc single to much success in desert races, scrambles, trials. He was a member of the Manhattan Motorcycle Club… His club emblazoned tabard here at Davos Ski Resort in ’64. His cool demeanor with shades strike a appropriate pose for the track…

.. Being a longtime friend of Lee Marvin, both hailing from Woodstock NY, I’m sure he could have told a tale or two!

Mud on the face; yet a grimacing smile shows a passion for the race.

The New York NY lot were highlighted in a photoshoot for a Life magazine special highlighting the Manhattan motorcyclists haring around the island; Don, is of course at the front!

  1. Lee Marvin.. one of the GREAT comedy talents and sadly, underused. With Clint Eastwood he was MAGNIFICENT ! He was one of my all-time favourites. And taken from us far too young.
