The 1953 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy saw Ray Amm (Rhodesia) win both Senior and Junior TT races. Bob McIntyre retired for his first TT, the Junior.
The event was marred by the death of five people, including the first ever 500cc motorcycle world champion, Leslie Graham, who was killed at Bray Hill during the Senior TT.[1] Graham had won his first ever TT race, the Ultra Lightweight TT, the day before. As a sign of respect, his team, MV Agusta, withdrew from the rest of the event.[2]
