Early-Trial-Riding-in-the-Lake-District-01 
 At the summit of Blea Tarn Pass with the lofty Langdale Peaks in the background. A group of the successful riders who reached the top of this notorious Pass from Great Langdale. To the fore of the group is a Sunbeam, presumably the one ridden by T Rutherford who showed how it should be done; while the sidecar is most likely a Sunbeam also -perhaps that of Macdonald, though it seems Rutherford may have actually driven it to reach the summit. Other sidecar outfits (including Captain TD Craig's 6hp AJS, driven on this section by J J Dias) made it up, as did several other machines, with among those mentioned the 2½hp Clyno of R Pape, who made one of the best ascents of the day.

Royal-Enfield-1960-350cc-Bullet 
 Boost peak power output to 21 bhp @ 6,500 rpm by various tweaks, add a bigger front stopper, drop the handlebar ends, spray on some
lustrous polychromatic paint and dip the lot in the chrome vat and this is how the “350 Clipper” emerged!
In fairness there was a little more to it than that, but in essence the 1960 “350 Bullet” was a sporting variant of its rather plain class-mate.
Again, Royal Enfield was keeping faith with a fast disappearing market sector in continuing this model. Twins were taking over and rorty
singles were not going to be the future. New for ‘60 on the Bullet was an entirely AC/DC lighting and ignition system, gone was the magneto
ignition of yore, a contact breaker housing taking the place of the old ‘mag’. In that much, at least, Redditch was following a trend.

 Peugeot Satelis RS 500

[TINTED PRICE BOX OUT]
RRP: £4699 (OTR including £800 discount)

[TEXT]
I was the first person in the country to ride the Satelis 500 at its’ UK launch a few years ago and I loved the scooter back then. Even now the scooter still looks as good as it did – better in fact thanks to this special RS version. Peugeot know how to build a good-looking scooter and this one is no exception. The obvious difference to the standard Satelis is the black paintwork with contrasting red trim, but it also comes with conventional brakes, as opposed to the ‘Executive’ model with ABS (a fact that helps to make the RS as sporty as it looks and save a few quid). With twin 260mm discs up front and a single 240mm disc at the rear, stopping is never going to be a problem; in fact the brakes are a little bit too sharp until you get used to them and it’s quite easy to lock the wheels if you use them in anger. Peugeot know how to make nice looking instruments and I’d say the clocks on the Satelis are as classy, crisp and clear as on any other bike or scooter on the market. They’re just so good looking and useable with their white fascias and crystal clear display that they put the lack lustre efforts of the other manufacturers to shame.
To help keep the Satelis as rigid on the road as possible Peugeot use 40mm forks up front and four position adjustable twin rear shocks. The shocks work with Peugeots Dual Swinging Linkage (DSL) engine mounting system to give great handling characteristics and it seems to work. The Piaggio derived engine is fuel injected and has plenty of power (38bhp) both from a standing start and in the mid range. It’ll hit just over an indicated 100mph and those few extra cc’s are noticeable over the Majesty and Burgman. Even at high speed the excellent chassis feels solid and stable and the scooter didn’t seem to suffer quite as badly as the other three in the wind. Everything on the Satelis looks well put together and is finished perfectly. Perhaps

 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!

 This poignant shot, taken on one of the dangerous Armco lined bends at the Salzburgring shows just how far safety has moved on in Grand Prix road racing. The two gladiators going at it hammer and tongs, just as they had all of the 1973 season, are Yamaha’s Jarno Saarinen and factory Aermacchi Harley- Davidson rider Renzo Pasolini. In what was a classic confrontation the experienced Pasolini needed all his time-served track craft to run with the rising Finnish ace Saarinen. Just weeks after this shot was taken both riders lost their lives at the equally dangerous Monza, robbing the sport of two of its all time greats.

 This poignant shot, taken on one of the dangerous Armco lined bends at the Salzburgring shows just how far safety has moved on in Grand Prix road racing. The two gladiators going at it hammer and tongs, just as they had all of the 1973 season, are Yamaha’s Jarno Saarinen and factory Aermacchi Harley- Davidson rider Renzo Pasolini. In what was a classic confrontation the experienced Pasolini needed all his time-served track craft to run with the rising Finnish ace Saarinen. Just weeks after this shot was taken both riders lost their lives at the equally dangerous Monza, robbing the sport of two of its all time greats.

It could be wheeled nose down through axle deep water to keep the engine dry as demonstrated by this famous journalist of The Motor Cycle with the Royal Enfield 'Flying Flea.'

 The Classic MotorCycle 1899-1967 British Motorcycles and the Military. War over... but the training continues with this group learning how to roll the 347cc Matchless G3L off its rear stand.

 Peugeot Satelis RS 500

[TINTED PRICE BOX OUT]
RRP: £4699 (OTR including £800 discount)

[TEXT]
I was the first person in the country to ride the Satelis 500 at its’ UK launch a few years ago and I loved the scooter back then. Even now the scooter still looks as good as it did – better in fact thanks to this special RS version. Peugeot know how to build a good-looking scooter and this one is no exception. The obvious difference to the standard Satelis is the black paintwork with contrasting red trim, but it also comes with conventional brakes, as opposed to the ‘Executive’ model with ABS (a fact that helps to make the RS as sporty as it looks and save a few quid). With twin 260mm discs up front and a single 240mm disc at the rear, stopping is never going to be a problem; in fact the brakes are a little bit too sharp until you get used to them and it’s quite easy to lock the wheels if you use them in anger. Peugeot know how to make nice looking instruments and I’d say the clocks on the Satelis are as classy, crisp and clear as on any other bike or scooter on the market. They’re just so good looking and useable with their white fascias and crystal clear display that they put the lack lustre efforts of the other manufacturers to shame.
To help keep the Satelis as rigid on the road as possible Peugeot use 40mm forks up front and four position adjustable twin rear shocks. The shocks work with Peugeots Dual Swinging Linkage (DSL) engine mounting system to give great handling characteristics and it seems to work. The Piaggio derived engine is fuel injected and has plenty of power (38bhp) both from a standing start and in the mid range. It’ll hit just over an indicated 100mph and those few extra cc’s are noticeable over the Majesty and Burgman. Even at high speed the excellent chassis feels solid and stable and the scooter didn’t seem to suffer quite as badly as the other three in the wind. Everything on the Satelis looks well put together and is finished perfectly. Perhaps
