There’s something new and exciting happening in the powered, two-wheeled world. People are taking bicycles and adding small but powerful electric motors to them, thus enabling them to go further, easier, on their bicycle than they previously could. Somebody might even call it a ‘motorbike’ or even a ‘motorcycle.’ Which just goes to show how…

I really enjoyed your article on the New Hudson in the March 2016 issue, good pictures too. Please receive the small photograph of my 1932 model OI 493cc SV, one of only two to have survived I believe. I restored it about 20 years ago and it is still as good as new. The specification…

I have been reading your mag for some time now and love its contents. At 91 David Griffiths is still enjoying riding. Good on you, David! I must congratulate the mention of the oldest Aussie rider in the February issue. I still ride and have copped enough flack lately about the numbers game. You know,…

The appeal of the 1953 ACU Jubilee Races, which took place in late August, suffered a major blow when many of the big stars were eliminated from the running owing to injury, illness or schedule conflicts. The event went on regardless, and it was those spectators who decided not to attend that missed out on…

This 1933 TT Replica Rudge is a real rarity, taking nearly three decades to piece together. There is nobody alive today that is as passionate about racing Rudges as Mervyn Stratford – he has been campaigning the same 1934 four-valve 250 for nearly 50 years. If you saw him stand alongside his Rudge, you might…

Vincent Day at Shakespeare County Raceway took place on April 17, 2016, with Stevenage’s finest celebrated in noisy style. The Vincent motorcycle legend was founded on performance. Circuit racing, hill-climbing and sprinting, the Stevenage-built bikes seemed to go better with age. Almost without exception, the headline-grabbing examples of the marque are now museum exhibits, often…
