How Lawrence of Arabia Died

May 13th, 1935, two months after Lawrence of Arabia settled down in his cottage, two boys were riding on a quiet Dorset road when they heard the a sound powerful motorcycle coming up the road. They then went in single file then the motorcycle engine cut off, the brakes screeched, and the wheels slid. The boys turned around to see what happened. They saw that the driver had flown off the bike and his head had been badly smashed. The rider was Lawrence of Arabia. He didn't speak and two weeks later in a nearby hospital he died. Lawrence didn't want any fame. But he liked high speed adventure. He died doing what he enjoyed.
