1956 Harley-Davidson / Brad Andres & Joe Leonard - Vintage 2-Page Motorcycle Ad
both 1956 Nation TT Championships won by Harley-Davidson
BRAD ANDRES Wins 45" National TT Championship
Once again, the Peoria Motorcycle Club grounds was the site
for famous National Championship Tourist Trophy races. The
first big event of the sunny afternoon, the 45" National, saw
Brad Andres of San Diego, California, take the lead early in
the race. Down the straightaways he roared, sliding through
twisting right and left turns, round and round for 14 action-
packed laps. When the flag came down, Brad was the winner
in 7 minutes and 19.70 seconds. Joe Leonard followed with
Barry Bebb in fourth — all on Harley-Davidson motorcycles!
JOE LEONARD Wins 80" National TT Championship
Joe Leonard’s smashing performance in the 80" TT National
chalked-up another 1956 Championship for Harley-Davidson.
With throttle wide open, Joe covered the tricky course in light-
ning-fast speed to win the event in 7 minutes and 16.80 seconds.
Earlier in the day, Joe also established a new Time Trial record
of 30.31 seconds. Both TT Championships plus all the other
brilliant 1956 Harley-Davidson victories offer positive proof
that you ride a winner ... a record maker . . . the best — when
you ride a Harley-Davidson. Make it your choice for 1957!
