Harold Daniell

Harold Daniell was better know for his motorbike racing where he was a highly successful rider including winning the Isle of Mann TT and christening the Norton "featherbed" frame, designed by Rex McCandless after describing it as "riding on a featherbed" as opposed to riding the "garden gate". Harold's brother in law was Steve Lancefield and both were know for their expertise as Manx Norton tuners.

From 1951 to 1953 he competed regularly in an Emeryson, consistently finishing well to the fore.
