1936 - Honours were even at a wet and windy Donington Park on Easter Bank Holiday, with Norman Croft (499cc Rudge) and Ginger Wood (492cc New Imperial, left) taking a win and a second apiece in the large capacity solo races. The pair set the crowd alight in the unlimited solo race; despite the Rudge appearing the faster machine, the lead regularly swapped until after the halfway stage. With Croft breathing down his neck, Wood (left) took the chequered flag with a race speed of 65.59mph, but less than a second separated the pair

Royal-Enfield-1960-350cc-Clipper-01
70mm x 90mm bore and stroke dimensions gave the Clipper its 346cc capacity. The 17 bhp
developed by this alloy-head, ohv motor, was identical with that obtained from the 248cc “Crusader
Sports” but, there was much more low-down grunt, more flexibility and with peak power coming in
at 5,500 rpm, a more leisurely ride.
A q.d., rear wheel was standard and the 33/4 gallon tank offered a good touring range. This was a
single-cylinder motorcycle in the best British tradition, would there be enough takers out there to
justify its well-intentioned makeover?

Royal-Enfield-1960-350cc-Clipper
Royal Enfield’s model designations began to get complicated at about this point; as the “350 Clipper” for 1960 was more in tune with the; spec level of the standard 250 “Crusader”; rather than its “250 Clipper” namesake. Actually; this was a new introduction and a breakaway; from earlier middleweight Clippers; in that it represented a detuned and dechromed “Bullet”; rather than the utility model it had previously; been.; By reducing the compression ratio; fitting 6” diameter brakes; touring ‘bars; applying a sober mist grey/black paint finish and omitting most; of the chrome; the sporty “Bullet” had bred the new “350 Clipper”.; At a moment when others in the industry were moving to scaled-up 250s for their middle capacity mounts; Enfield were staying faithful to; the scaled-down 500 approach; at least for another twelve months.

A real master piece! But a short lived one - this 1.5 cwt birthday cake was gobbled up at the 59 Club last Saturday. The cake a faithful replica of Brands, was baked by Arthur Keen, of Cranbrook Kent. Fiddly work, the icing was left to well - known cake artist "Jiminy", of the Crimony Company, Twickenham. Complete down to the pits, railings and controll tower (there's even "oil" on the track!) the cake was 48in long, 28in wide and 12in deep.

A few weeks after his Daytona crash, Sheene bought himself this second-hand Rolls-Royce to cheer himself up. The famous personalised Barry Sheene racing plate followed. This picture was taken at the Match Races at Brands in April 1975. American rider Dave Aldana is the back seat passenger and the driver is Merv Wright, who moved from America to Britain to manage the Texaco Heron Team Suzuki squad the following year. If the picture had been taken a few minutes and few miles down the road it would have captured Aldana introducing the drivers of Kent to the American practice of mooning.

How's this for a smart Honda? This CB77 three-o-five is owned by 23 year old Tony Eldridge. But it's a Honda with a difference, Tony took delivery of it in the crate from Reads of Leytonstone. Then he gave it the treatment; all the silver-finish parts were re-stove enamelled and the light-alloy castings were polished to a mirror brightness. In short, the machine received the sort of meticulous attention that no mass-produced job could ever get. It's an Eldridge special right down to that number - M(o)y One, D!

If there is one race forever etched in motorcycle folk law then it is Mike Hailwood’s Isle of Man TT return in 1978. Having spent 11 years away from the Island and motorcycle racing, except for the odd race down under, the idea of a TT comeback was considered crazy at best and downright dangerous at worst by some. But they needn’t have worried. If Mike had put in an appearance and just ridden for a finish he would have received a standing ovation. But that wasn’t the Hailwood style. In practice he hustled the Sports Motorcycles Ducati round at 111mph, over 7mph faster than the Formula 1 lap record, and won the race with ease.

In the same issue there is a photograph of a shop window full of helmets which span the range of what was on offer at this time. In the centre is what we would still recognise as a standard "open face" type extending down over the ears. This was a relatively new idea to motorcycling/scootering having originated with fighter pilots, reaching Formula 1 around 1959 and the general public about two years later. To the left can be seen its predecessor, the "Piss Pot" and underneath the standard white "Everoak" beloved of so many regular scooterists. The Everoak (and similarly-styled helmets from other makers) was especially despised by the Mods and it comes as a bit of a culture shock today to see a scooter resplendent with lights and mirrors being ridden by someone wearing such a thing.
Still, in 1963, such considerations were years away - Mods not generally wearing helmets in any case. Mod fashion in a motor cycle magazine? It never happened again!
