The 1914 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy was the last held before the outbreak of the First World War.
Bad weather overshadowed the Junior race on Tuesday, May 19, but Eric and Cyril Williams gained first and second place for AJS having passed newcomer Frank Walker who had been leading on the second lap but for an unfortunate accident. Frank remounted his Royal Enfield, chased after the two men with determination but was parted from his machine twice more and still managed to flash over the finish line into third place while the two William's were still congratulating each other but he failed to turn onto Bray Hill for the machine examination and crashed again and succumbed to his injuries four days later.
Thursday, May 21, was the Senior race day and after more than four hours only 6m. 24 secs, separated the first three riders and there was the first dead heat in the history of the TT for 2nd place between HR Davies and Oliver C Godfrey, the winner of the 1911 TT again riding an Indian.
