Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robert MacGregor McIntyre 28 November1928 Scotstoun, Glasgow - 15 August 1962 was a Scottish motorcycle racer famous for five motorcycle Grand Prix wins which included three wins at the Isle of Man TT Races, and four victories in the North West 200. McIntyre died nine days after injuries sustained racing at Oulton Park, Cheshire in August 1962. He entered competition in 1948 on his only transport, an Ariel Red Hunter, and was soon competing in off-road scrambles. After a few seasons he began road racing, but the roads were not always well surfaced. Bob rode a BSA at Balado Airfield near Kinross. The concrete track had patches of loose gravel, and Bob won three of the four races he entered. For 1952 he rode a BSA to second in the Isle of Man Junior Clubmans TT, averaging 80.09 mph (128.89 km/h) on his fastest lap. A long association with the Isle of Man Mountain Circuit had begun. Later that year Bob returned to win the Manx Junior (350cc) and come second in the Manx Senior (500cc) riding the same AJS 7R in both classes.
