Every journey is a race

The enduring image of Lawrence of Arabia is that of a robed military tactician astride a camel in the desert of the First World War, but as Mat Oxley – whose latest book explores TE Lawrence’s love of motorcycles – explains, the fame-shy soldier and author was a speed freak with a passion for Brough Superiors
