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.

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.

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!
