Famous racebikes from the early 20th century were often given nicknames. One such bike, George Brough's ultra-famous 1922 SS80 Brough Superior, actually had two: "Spit & Polish" and later "Old Bill." Brough competed on Old Bill at Brooklands, recording the first-ever 100-mph lap at the purpose-built motorsport facility. Then, in 1923, Brough absolutely dominated on the bike, recording multiple victories in hill climbs and sprints. But then a high-speed blowout at Clipstone cut short Brough's competition career.
