It all started here. Sheene and racer Gordon Keith, winner of the 1964 Manx Lightweight Grand Prix, pictured by Nick Nicholls at a Brands Hatch practice day on 17 February 1968 - two weeks before Sheene made his race debut at the Kent circuit on Saturday 2 March. Barry, 17, was there that February day to gently run in the engines of two Bultacos his father Frank had tuned for the coming season. Barry returned the following week to complete the job and went so well he ended up racing them. At the time, Frank was the famous Sheene because of his tuning talent and it was the bikes not the young rider, that made the picture newsworthy. (You tube)

The flamboyant helmet design of Graziano Rossi, captured here at Spa Francorchamps in a rare shot aboard the Marlboro Yamaha in 1982, and equally distinctive riding style, have all the all the hallmarks of his son Valentino. Rossi senior only managed 23rd in the 500cc World Championship that season, but had been placed as high as fifth, in the 1980 title race. Better known as a 250 runner, Rossi should have won the 1979 250 title aboard the factory Morbidelli, but his campaign came apart mid-season.

Few great racers make great engineers. Sidecar driver Helmut Fath was most definitely the exception to the rule. Captured here deep in concentration as, along with long-time passenger Wolfgang Kalauch, he drifts the URS outfit, a machine built entirely with his own hands, into a fast Oulton Park sweeper during the 1968 International meeting. Working in a tiny workshop, German Fath managed to build a four-cylinder engine so powerful, and reliable, that it took him and Kalauch to that season’s World Championship, denying the previously dominant BMW crews victory.

Outspoken American Kenny Roberts arrived in Europe fearing no one and once on the track it was easy to see why. Captured here during the 1976 Anglo American Match Races, at Oulton Park, Roberts clearly isn’t bothered by an unruly 750 Yamaha and the close proximity of the railway sleepers that line the circuit. Having been brought up on the dirt track ovals in his native USA, neither an excess of power nor a slippery track fazed the tough Californian. Roberts went on to win the blue-ribbon 500 title three times, in 1978/79/80, for Yamaha and after moving on to team management witnessed his son Kenny Junior take the title in 2000 riding for the rival Suzuki team, a feat no other father and son have equalled.

With his totally committed all-action style it’s possible to see why Rocket Ron Haslam was always the fans’ favourite. During the early years of his long and successful career, Ron was a regular crasher and must have tested both loyal sponsor Mal Carter’s patience and bank balance. But Ron was never deterred and perfected his craft, going on to have a successful Grand Prix career. Riding for both Honda and Suzuki, he was the man to beat on British short circuits and even won a TT. Haslam is captured here rounding the fearsome Coram’s Curve, at Snetterton, getting the best from his Honda 500 in the 1983 Shell Oils 500 Championship.

Nigel is TAG s Publisher at Mortons Media and apart from bringing us great bike and scooter titles to read every month, he s also a committed funky moped owner - well technically his Honda 90 isn t a moped, but we ll let him off Here s what he had to say:
What the hell do you want that for? is usually the question I m asked when people see my Honda CT90. The constant ribbing at work about my hobby becomes tiresome, but you know what, they don t know what they re missing.
My obsession - sorry I meant hobby - centres on two things; uniqueness and economy. I fell in love with this American import, also known as the Trail 90, a few years back having seen one of these orange funkmeisters at a show. I loved the knobbly tyres, eight gears, altitude adjuster, spare fuel tank, stubby mudguard, the colour and it fitted in nicely with my 70s renaissance that seems to dog the student world every five-or-so years. This bike had it all for me.
The economy side is twofold; firstly I can run this bike at around 120mpg and enjoy the world passing by at around 50mph, just sitting back and relaxing. The other bit is the price. You can buy this classic bike with 1200 miles on the clock for about 800 (Stateside you d pay twice that!) what other mint classic bike would you get for that with the coolness my bike has got. Stretch T-shirts are back!
