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.

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?
