Padgett’s Motorcycles have announced the death of founder Peter Padgett, aged 94.

He raced in both the Isle of Man TT and Manx Grand Prix in the 1960s as well as the Southern 100.

In 1958 he founded the Padgett’s Motorcycles business with his brother Don in Batley, West Yorkshire before starting a racing team.

They’ve enjoyed TT success with numerous top riders such as Steve Hislop, Ian Hutchinson and John McGuinness.

In a statement this morning the family said Peter passed away at home surrounded by his loved ones.  

It is with an extremely heavy heart that today 9th March 2026, we said goodbye to our founder Mr Peter Padgett. He died peacefully at home surrounded by his wife Audrey, son Clive, daughter in law Sue, daughter Cath and granddaughter Helen. 

We would ask for your kindness and understanding at the very difficult time for our family. 

So as many Irish road race fans would say “there’s only one Peter Padgett”! 

Thank you love the Padgett Family xx

Putting in a spectacular 123mph lap, on his first ever lap he snatches the record from Glen Irwin who had a 122mph.
