Imagine a time when daredevil bikers took chariot racing to the extreme! In the 1920s and 1930s, a group of fearless individuals strapped motorcycles to the front of chariots and brought this ancient sport back to life.
Chariot racing, once a popular sport in the ancient Olympic Games, had long been forgotten. But with the success of the epic film Ben-Hur in 1925, the public's fascination with chariot races was reignited. And that's when these daredevils saw an opportunity to modernize the sport using motorcycles instead of horses.
