1972 Mark Brelsford's historic "Daytona Crash" XRTT For Sale

The photo taken by the Daytona Free-Press was carried all over the world. The image became one of the best-selling race posters of all time.

AMA Hall of Fame inductee Mark Brelsford is best known for his epic crash at Daytona in March, 1973. It was the first race on his XRTT bearing the #1 plate, having been awarded for his 1972 Grand National championship victory.

Longtime tuner Babe Demay salvaged the motor and frame from the smoldering heap, expecting to get the call to put another factory TT together. The call never came. The salvaged parts remained in Demay's garage for decades, until leading XR750/ TT expert John Steele discovered the remains in his home state of Ohio. The bike was never put on the market. It was acquired pre-restoration by its current owner. The meticulous restoration, bringing the motorcycle back to its state just prior to the crash, was performed by John Steele, with the motor rebuilt by Carl Patrick.

Extensive documentation authenticating the provenance of the bike will be included in the sale.
